2. Transport

 

 

Subway

It is open 24 hours a day and it is quite safe although it is better not to travel at night.

You need to buy a MetroCard or a weekly pass, if you are going to make several journeys during your stay.

Bus

Buses are slower than the subway but they are a nice way to see the city for a reasonable fare.

The service is quite regular and usually they are not overcrowded.

Walking

Finding your way in New York is really easy: there are 11 avenues that run north-south and the streets run east-west, from 14th St. in the south to 225th St. in the north.

Taxi

New York taxis are yellow and fast and will take you anywhere.

You can tell when a taxi is free by the lights in the panel.
