You don’t have to get “on the road again” to travel to the New York International Auto Show - just ride the rails.  The future of automobile design and technology is here, and it’s an easy train ride away on either Long Island Rail Road or Metro-North.  Both railroads are offering special discount packages to the New York International Auto Show at the Jacob Javits Center, April 14 to 23, from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. (10 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Sunday April 16 and 23). Long Island Rail Road customers can take advantage of up to 30% savings for the package, which includes LIRR off-peak round-trip rail fare and admission to the Auto Show. Metro-North customers receive discount show admission and reduced rail fare.

 

Leave the driving to Metro-North and Long Island Rail Road, and don’t miss out on the chance to see nearly 1,000 of the world’s newest vehicles and futuristic concept cars before they’re available anywhere else.  Ushering in the latest automotive trends, the 2017 New York International Auto Show showcases an incredible collection of cutting-edge design, technology and extraordinary innovation.
