LIRR President Phil Eng said they heard their customers' concerns loud and clear.
"As a result we will restore our previous timetable on March 29. In the meantime, we will continue to strategically add additional trains and lengthen trains to meet evolving ridership levels. We continue to monitor seating availability with unprecedented clarity thanks to new technology. As declining covid-19 cases and increased deployment of the vaccine allow New York to fully reopen, customers should expect to see more riders returning to trains every day, and we look forward to it."
During a press conference Tuesday, Gov. Andrew Cuomo called on the LIRR to reverse the cuts and increase service.
