NEW YORK (AP) - The Long Island Rail Road is running on a weekend schedule after up to 13 inches of snow fell on the New York metropolitan area.
The railroad also says that fares will be off-peak on Wednesday.
The LIRR runs approximately 60 percent of its weekday trains on weekends.
There will be no train service on the West Hempstead line and also on the Greenport lines east of Ronkonkoma. Bus service will be provided on those lines.
Newsday reports that because of weather-related problems affecting ticket vending machines, LIRR is waiving extra fees to buy tickets aboard trains.
