The Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) trains and buses operated through a near-total solar eclipse across the New York region on Monday, April 8, 2024. Governor Kathy Hochul and Mayor Eric Adams had encouraged eclipse viewers to take mass transit to their destinations for safety and congestion relief. Additionally, the MTA issued a reminder that public transit was the best way to get to today’s total solar eclipse. Eclipse viewings were held throughout the city, on Long Island, and throughout the Hudson Valley.
