Fare and service. As of August 20, 2023, an adult one-way ticket from Penn Station (Zone 1) to stations in The Hamptons (Zone 14) costs $31.75 (at the ticket machine or MTA TrainTime app) or $38.00 (if purchased onboard the train). Due to the train's departure time during the PM rush hour, peak pricing is in effect.
