Service Advisory for Randall's Island Governor's Ball Concerts
Express Bus Service from 125th Street

MTA New York City Transit is providing X80 express bus service between the 125th Street-Lexington Avenue 4, 5, 6 station and Randall's Island this weekend, June 23 and 24, for those attending the Governor's Ball Concerts.

The concerts begin at noon each day; gates open at 11:30 a.m. Customers boarding the X80 toward the island will pay the express bus fare which is $5.50. To expedite the rush at the end of the concerts, no fares will be collected leaving the island; customers pay when they enter the connecting subway. Customers may also take the M35 to and from the Randall's Island.

The X80 will operate from 9:30 a.m. to midnight, about every 4-5 minutes during the event.
