On Columbus Day (October 10th) and Juneteenth (observed on June 20th), the Commuter Rail will operate on a regular weekday schedule.Updated: 5/23/2022 5:54 AM

Icon Key
Commuter Rail seat availability is regularly updated to reflect a trip’s typical ridership based on automated and conductor data from the past 14-30 days.
Current seat availability thresholds are:
Many Seats Available: Typically more than 66% of seats are available and distancing is possible (~0-2 people per row)
Some Seats Available: Typically more than 33% of seats remain available and distancing may be possible (~2-3 people per row)
Few Seats Available: Typically fewer than 33% of seats available and distancing is unlikely (~3+ people per row)
Bicycles are allowed on trains with the bicycle symbol below the train number.
Passengers must tell the conductor that they wish to leave. Passengers waiting to board
must be visible on the platform for the train to stop.
The train may leave ahead of schedule at these stops.
