Where do I purchase my SLE ticket?
Do I need to go into the station to buy a ticket for a connecting
New Haven Line train?
One-way tickets are sold on board trains and are available at the
New London, Old Saybrook and New Haven ticket windows and are valid
for 90 days. Please have correct fare with you — checks and
credit cards are not accepted for ticket purchase on board trains.
SLE commuters continuing on past New Haven may purchase their
New Haven Line ticket on board the New Haven Line train. (Just
tell the conductor you're connecting from a Shore Line East train,
show your receipt and the surcharge will be waived).
What types of tickets are available?
Monthly, monthly plus bus, Uni-Rail
(combined SLE/New Haven Line ticket) and ten-trip
tickets are available. Ten-trip tickets are valid for 90 days.
Monthly and monthly plus bus tickets are valid for the calendar
month shown and may be used for unlimited travel between stations
specified. The bus portion of the monthly plus bus ticket is honored
for travel on all CTTRANSIT
bus routes including the Commuter Connection
buses.
How can I pay for my ticket?
Cash, checks and credit cards are accepted at the New London,
Old Saybrook and New Haven ticket offices. Checks and credit cards
are recommended for ticket purchases by mail. Cash only is accepted
for on-board ticket purchases.
Are there senior or off-peak discounts?
Because the Shore Line East fares are so reasonable, there aren't
any discounted fares.
What does it cost to bring children with me?
Children aged
2 through 15 receive a 50% discount when accompanied by one person
paying an adult rail fare. Children under age 2 are permitted
to travel free.
