Schedule changes are to take effect on the Long Island Rail Road starting Monday, Nov. 13.

"Yeah, I'm not happy about it," said Lucas, who commutes to Manhattan from Port Washington. "It's going to be very difficult for me. I'll get off at Woodside, I'll take the 7 train, I'll be a real New Yorker again,."

Lucas's morning train isn't the only one affected. Several other trains on the Port Washington, Ronkonkoma, and Babylon Branches will change too. All of the updates are listed below.

The MTA says the changes are to, "better reflect customer travel patterns and demand."

This isn't the first time this year that LIRR service has seen big changes. Service increased 41% back in February with the opening of Grand Central Madison.

"The bottom line is, they shouldn't have done 50/50 to Grand Central," said Ira Berger, of Port Washington.

Steve Cheevers, who also commutes from Port Washington, had a different outlook.

"It's not that bad. I mean, the new station area at the bottom of Grand Central is fantastic, it's amazing, it's convenient. I just think there's more pros than cons any way you look at it," he said.

Reaction to the new schedule changes has been split.

"The more express the better, we have all been spoiled here in Port Washington without having to go through Jamaica and the express train which is why a lot of people come here to commute," said commuter Howard Hecht.

"Those trains are packed every day, there's not even a seat open. And for someone to come back and say those trains are empty, that there's not enough volume, or that they're cutting back on the trains makes no sense," Lucas said.

Here are all of the changes as outlined by the MTA. Schedules are available in the TrainTime app and online at https://new.mta.info/schedules.
