This is the first time MTA has operated rail service to Albany
Governor Kathy Hochul announced that starting December 1, Amtrak service between New York City and Albany will be partially restored, with fares capped at $99. Additionally, Metro-North will extend its commuter railroad service to Albany from Poughkeepsie for around $40, starting in spring 2026. The move aims to provide more affordable and accessible transportation options for travelers in the Hudson Valley region. Despite some criticism, Hochul sees the expansion as fulfilling her promise to improve transportation infrastructure in New York.
