Monday is Columbus Day in the United States and the LIRR is celebrating it by running trains as usual on Monday with a regular schedule. Unlike President's Day where the LIRR runs a holiday schedule and messes up the mornings of hundreds of commuters who don't give a hoot about the presidents, Columbus Day is just an ordinary Monday to the LIRR.
And an ordinary Monday means ordinary fares, so if you're traveling on a peak train all the peak fares still apply. The one exception is that the Senior/Medicare/Disabled tickets (and presumably the Family Fare though not explicitly stated) will be honored all day Monday. Normally, these tickets are not accepted only on AM peak trains, but his restriction is lifted on Columbus, Election, and Veterans Days.
For those of you who do have off on Monday, enjoy!
