Due to popular demand, Metro-North has expanded its "Quiet CALMmute" program to all inbound AM and outbound PM Peak trains on the Hudson, Harlem & New Haven Lines!

For those customers who have never taken one of our trains featuring a quiet car, please keep in mind:

  • During the AM Peak (inbound to Grand Central), the LAST CAR of these trains will be designated a quiet car.
  • During the PM Peak (outbound from Grand Central), the FIRST CAR of these trains will be designated a quiet car.
  • Reverse Peak trains are not included in our Quiet CALMmute program.

Customers Traveling On Quiet Cars should:

  • Not use cell phones.
  • Disable sound features on computers & other electronic devices.
  • Conduct conversations in a subdued voice.
  • Use headphones at a volume that cannot be heard by fellow passengers.

To spread and reinforce the message about Metro-North’s “Quiet CALMmute” cars, conductors will hand out on an “as needed basis” specially designed “Shhhhhh” cards that explain the rules of etiquette in English and Spanish.

Please Note: All regular announcements will continue to be made in the designated quiet cars. For those of you who wish to commute in our quiet cars, we say enjoy the “CALMmute.” For more information, call Metro-North Customer Service at 511 (in CT, 877-690-5114).
