Consumption of alcohol on Metro-North and the Long Island Rail Road will be banned during SantaCon this weekend.
According to the MTA:
“The ban will be in effect beginning 4 a.m. on Saturday, Dec. 14, through 12 p.m. on Sunday, Dec. 15. Alcohol consumption will also be prohibited at all LIRR and Metro-North station platforms during these hours.”
The MTA has banned alcohol on its trains during SantaCon in year’s past. It says there will be an increased MTA police presence at Penn Station, Grand Central Madison and Grand Central Terminal “to enforce the weekend alcohol restriction.”
“Police will confiscate alcoholic beverages and issue summonses. Violators may also be subject to removal from trains or stations by police,” it says.
