Metro-North Fares up, Li'l Monsters Back in School Jan. 2

It's a slow week, punctuated by New Year's Day on Wednesday, but there's a bit going on in and around town.

What's up this week in and around Darien:

A fare increase of 5 percent by the Connecticut Department of Transportation goes into effect on Metro-North’s New Haven Line on Wednesday, Jan. 1, 2014. This increase will affect ticket prices for travel: between stations within Connecticut; between Connecticut and New York stations; between Rye & Port Chester stations and a limited number of other stations. See http://tinyurl.com/ne9pas7 for more info.
