Dec 16, 2017 · Penn Station is a confusing place. The bustling train terminal, located on the West Side of Manhattan, is a sprawling mass of tracks, corridors, and concourses spread across three levels.
Most ticket types are the same on the Long Island Rail Road and Metro-North Railroad, but there are some exceptions. Each railroad station is assigned a fare zone. Tickets are valid to any station in the listed zone. For example, Penn Station to Hicksville can be used for Atlantic Terminal to Massapequa Park.
