More Commuter Options for Ulster County Residents

Posted by Thomas Jackson on Friday, October 24th, 2008 at 11:13am.

Commuting between Ulster County and New York City has become more convenient and affordable with an Ulster County Area Transit bus link to Metro-North express trains from the Poughkeepsie station to Grand Central Terminal in the heart of midtown Manhattan. The bus to train link runs throughout the day, seven days a week.  The overcrowded parking conditions at the Poughkeepsie station have been completely resolved with this bus to train service. You can park your car in one of the free Park & Rides located along the bus route on Rt. 32 in Rosendale across from the Community Center (overflow parking in designated area of Community Center lot), in the New Paltz Agway parking lot, and in Highland at the intersection of Rts. 299 and 9W.Weekday connections to trains start at 6:00 AM and end at 8:30 PM. One-way bus fares are $2.00 from Rosendale, $1.75 from New Paltz are $1.25 from Highland. One-way train fares are $17.75 peak, $13.25 off peak and $8.75 for senior and disabled passengers. Combined bus/rail UniTickets are also available for unlimited travel at $129.50/ week and $407/month. For more information, visit www.ulstercountyny.gov/ucat or call 888-827-8228.

Great Post Guys. I'll bet a good amount of out-of-towners have no idea as the extent of the public transportation available here in Ulster County.

Keep up the good work!
