Does Metrocard Work on Lirr?
You cannot use Metrocards (of any sort, unlimited or not) on the LIRR. However, you can still buy a Metrocard at the Airtrain terminal at Jamaica. The unlimited Metrocard cannot be used for the Airtrain, but you'll need to buy a Metrocard to exit the Airtrain terminal - the Airtrain is $5.

Also know, is the LIRR part of the MTA?

The LIRR is one of two commuter rail systems owned by the MTA, the other being the Metro-North Railroad in the northern suburbs of the New York area.

Also Know, how much does it cost to ride the LIRR? LIRR offers both the $5.50 Round-Trip (two rides) separately or on Round-Trip ticket types. If bought separately, a $1 fee will apply ($6.50 total cost). Round-Trip tickets may be purchased with a $5.50 MetroCard on the reverse side.

Additionally, can you use a MetroCard at Penn Station?

The metrocard machines are outside the turnstiles (of course!!) so you don't have to be inside the subway system to use them. There are subway stations with metrocard machines at both the Seventh and Eighth Avenue ends of the Long Island Rail Road concourse in Penn Station.

Are there bathrooms on the LIRR?

Nobody uses the train bathroom.
