Good news for those who purchased July monthly tickets for the South Shore Line.

The rail line announced this week that all July tickets will remain valid throughout the month of August.

Passengers who purchased a paper July monthly ticket should plan to keep that ticket and use it throughout August. Those who purchased a digital July ticket via the mobile app will see an August ticket uploaded to their account prior to August 1.
