Hudson Valley commuters turning to rails instead of roads for travel in wake of winter storm

Some say they're relying more on the Metro-North train for travel to avoid the lingering snow and the mess it's creating on the roads.

Commuters in the Hudson Valley say they are fed up with snow that is still on the roads.

"The snow is coming on the roads. The snow is turning two-way streets into one-way streets, it's ridiculous," said an Ossining resident.

Some say they're relying more on the Metro-North train for travel to avoid the lingering snow and the mess it's creating on the roads.

"My train arrived on time, and it left on time, no complaints here," said Andrea, who commutes between Tarrytown and Queens.

Officials with the MTA say they were able to get things back on schedule fairly quickly after the winter storm Sunday.

Metro-North commuters say things have been running smoothly over the last two days for the most part.

That's been especially helpful for commuters like Andrea. She said getting a ride in a car right now is difficult.

"It's been hard to get a cab. It's taken an hour for me to get to my job that's only 10 minutes away," says Andrea.
