Metro-North Railroad and New York City Transit will operate special service for post-season games at Yankee stadium. Direct service to Yankee Stadium is back on the Harlem Line for the series, which means that Harlem Line customers can avoid a transfer or a drive to a Hudson Line station.
A combination of regular service and frequent direct Yankee Clipper service to Yankees-E. 153rd St. Station will be in effect for the American League Division Series on the Harlem, Hudson and New Haven Lines for both games, with trains before, during and after the game.
Before the game, New York City Transit will run full rush-hour level service to the subway stop at 161st Street–Yankee Stadium. After the game, seven trains, and five trains will be on standby for additional Manhattan-bound service.
While Metro-North serves the Yankees-E. 153rd Street station 365 days a year with local Bronx service on the Hudson Line, the railroad offers extra service on all three of its east of Hudson lines for game days.
Avoid the crush of game day traffic and expensive parking fees and enjoy an easy one-ticket ride on Metro-North to Yankees-E. 153rd Street station. The Stadium is less than a 10-minute walk from the station.
