It's $7 to ride the The Long Island Rail Road during peak times, or $5 off peak.

Are you forgetting the $8.50 charge for Airtrain? That more than doubles the price you quoted, and it's not optional.

LIRR is fast, quiet, pleasant. It drops you off at pen station in midtown.

Don’t take a $10 ride that should cost $50. You’re screwing the driver.

Only through April 30th, regular price is "up to $25".
