You can purchase tickets at the station machine using cash/credit card (no ticket window) or use the MTA app called "TrainTime". If using TrainTime app, please make sure you establish your account well before the ride. The conductor won't wait for you to establish your account on the train.
At the end of the ride there are plenty of places to eat and relax and you still need to get from town to the train station which is about a mile out of town. You can bring a bag with your clothes if you want to change when you get to Montauk so please make sure your bag can close and has your identification on the outside of the bag. Back pack is ideal for this. You will give your bag to Amy Olander who will be at the Babylon Train station and will take your bags out to Montauk. When giving your bikes to be loaded on the truck please remove anything that can easily break such as Garmins, mirrors or lights as SBRA is not responsible for any damage to those types of items even though the bikes are loaded with care!
Last but not least for those of you that are taking the train back, you can try to take your bike on the train. There is a train at 3:16 pm and 5:19 pm that you can try to make if you don't want to wait for the later train. Although bikes are permitted on these two trains, the conductor has the ultimate right to limit the number of bikes allowed. The later train leaves at 7:42 pm but bikes are NOT permitted on this train.
