The LIRR has added extra stops at the Mets-Willets Point station for the U.S. Open.

The Metropolitan Transportation Authority reminded New Yorkers and the more than one million expected attendees that mass transit is the best way to get to the United States Tennis Association (USTA) Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Queens for all the US Open action. USTA runs this week through Sunday, Sept. 8.

Customers have a variety of public transportation options to get to the tournament including New York City Transit subway and buses, Long Island Rail Road, and Metro-North Railroad.
