Alcohol banned on the LIRR
Drinking alcohol anywhere in the Long Island Rail Road system is being temporarily banned for 24 hours due to the Knicks parade.
"Alcohol will not be permitted system-wide on our trains or in our stations," the railroad posted on X.
The ban is in effect from 5 a.m. Thursday through 5 a.m. Friday and mirrors a ban that applies to Metro-North, the MTA’s other commuter rail.
Both railroads are expecting higher than normal passenger numbers.
