Metro-North to Hold August 23 Public Hearing to Increase Service at Melrose and Tremont Stations

In an effort to build ridership and provide Bronx residents with more convenient travel options, on October 2, 2016, Metro-North implemented a pilot program that increased service at the Tremont and Melrose stations from a two-hour frequency to hourly frequency during off-peak and weekend travel times.

The public hearing on August 23 is a necessary step in making the pilot expansion program an enduring schedule change, and service at Melrose and Tremont will remain consistent with other Bronx stations.

In addition to the increased frequency, the service day will stay extended, with earlier inbound service on weekdays and significantly later outbound service on weekdays and weekends.

Details of increased service at Melrose and Tremont stations are below:

• Weekday inbound service will be expanded from: 7:20 a.m. – 10:41 p.m., to: 5:51 a.m. – 12:47 a.m.
• Weekday outbound service will be expanded from: 5:38 a.m. – 9:25 p.m., to: 5:38 a.m. – 1:20 a.m.
• Weekend inbound service will be expanded from: 6:44 a.m. – 10:44 p.m., to: 6:44 a.m. – 12:44 a.m.
• Weekend outbound service will be expanded from: 6:25 a.m. – 9:25 p.m., to: 6:25 a.m. – 1: 20 a.m.
