<br><br>Attention, MARC Train and MTA Commuter Bus Passengers—<br>
<br>
As you may have heard in the news, there is a possibility of a federal government shutdown over this next weekend.<br>
<br>
If the government does shut down, all MARC Train and Commuter Bus service will operate as scheduled. In the event of a prolonged shutdown, MTA management will review ridership levels and may consider operating reduced service.<br>
<br>
Please also note that in the event of a government shutdown, monthly and weekly ticket refund policies will be in effect for MARC passengers:<br>
<br>
--One-way tickets are non-refundable.<br>
--Weekly tickets are refundable if returned no later than 11:59pm the Friday prior to the effective week.<br>
--Monthly tickets are refundable, based on calendar days, as follows: Prior to effective month - 100%, Days 1 thru 5 - 75%, Days 6 thru 10 - 50%, after Day 11 – no refund.<br>
<br>
Thank you for riding MARC Train and Commuter Bus<br>
