Yonkers Metro North

A once great old style train station has let budget cuts ruin it. You can still see the beautiful architecture and imagine what it was once like in this place. Unfortunately, now this place is basically like a bus stop. The grand ticket window of old is closed and shuttered, replaced by schedule booklets and a few ticket machines. The MTA police station is usually closed with nobody in it. There are a couple of vending machines and a really cold feeling throughout the building.
OK, soapbox time. What this place needs is a dedicated renovation. Staffing would be important, maybe it’ll help with getting the homeless out of the station. An update of the ticket holders lounge. Put in a few vending machines, maybe one of those video train schedules. Since the coffee guy left, there really isn’t anything around in the morning. How about a café? Sprucing the place up would go a long way to help the image Yonkers has been trying to update the last few years.

there should be a better system to announce the trains and departures.
when track changes happen nobody knows, then they announce it then it changes back or the conductor tells you otherwise. Stupid system or the people managing it.
It has a couple of bathrooms that are mostly use by the resident homeless. Great view of NJ and hudson river. Cherry blossom trees on the side entrance next to the pee.
Smells like Pee is you walk by the side entrance where the buses stop.
its a main hub and all trains stop there, no need to be so desolated.
PS: missing a metro card vending machine. helloooooouuuuu

Often people begging for money here, the side door out always smells like someone just peed. The positive is that there is a Yonkers Police Department here but there presence is not always seen.

Came up here to visit a friend in yonkers… the Station is ok & very Clean…
