The Metro-North New Haven line trains will soon travel between Fordham and Manhattan, the MTA announced this week, marking a change in what was previously called “exclusionary” transit in the Bronx.
Fordham has been a “discharge only” stop for decades, allowing passengers coming from the suburbs in Westchester County and Connecticut to get off the train there, but barring anyone who needs to head to Manhattan from boarding at that station. Passengers who want to board at Fordham to go toward Grand Central have been forced to instead take Harlem line Metro-North trains.
