MTA Renews Deal With Beer Company

By Special to the Sun | April 25, 2007

While Long Island Rail Road officials are pushing to ban liquor on all local commuter rail lines, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority is renewing a licensing agreement with the brewing company Anheuser-Busch.

Since 2003, the company has held the exclusive right to display its brand on portable commissary carts that sell beer at Grand Central, Jamaica Station, Flatbush Avenue Terminal, and Penn Station.


Correction from April 25, 2007:

An MTA board task force is studying the idea of banning alcohol on commuter rail lines. The status of the issue was mischaracterized in an article on page 3 of yesterday's New York Sun.
