Travel notes

New York is part of the Northeast region. Riders connecting between routes within the state can use any of the major hubs above for cross-platform or short-walk transfers, depending on the station. For onward travel beyond the rail network, intercity bus and connecting Thruway services often complement the train; consult the operator for current connecting itineraries.

Ticket types, on-board facilities and fare structures differ between Amtrak and each commuter operator; consult the operating agency for those details.
