NYC Essentials
Getting Here
Airports
There are seven airports within
30 to 90 minutes of Midtown
Manhattan. Those closest to the
City are Kennedy, LaGuardia
and Newark.
Transportation between
airports and New York City is
available via several options:
taxi, bus, private car and the MTA
New York City Transit system.
Light-rail AirTrain links terminals at
both JFK and Newark, and also
provides quick service to airport
parking, car rental companies and
mass transit stations that connect
to the Citys five boroughs.
Getting Around
The MTANYCs
Mass Transit System
The best way to get around NYC
is through a combination of walk-
ing and mass transit. NYCs sub-
ways and buses are inexpensive,
operate 24/7, provide a fun way
to extend sightseeing and get you
where you need to go, fast. Other
ways to get around include ferries
and even an aerial tramway.
Getting an MTA MetroCard
is your first step to navigating the
City by subway or bus. You can
purchase a MetroCard at any
subway station from multilingual
machines (which accept cash,
ATM cards and credit cards)
or booth attendants.
Riders can choose a pay-per-
ride or an unlimited-ride Metro-
Card. A single ride ticket costs
$2.75, while multi-ride cards
provide added value at $2.50
a ride. The unlimited MetroCard
enables users to ride as often
as they like within a fixed time
period. Added discounts are given
for seniors (age 65 and up) and
disabled riders. Go to mta.info
for updates.
The MetroCard is your pass to NYCs
mass transit system.
Subways & Buses
The easiestand quickest
way to travel through NYC is by
subway. Subway trains operate
24/7, and are often much faster
NYCs subway system is a
quick, affordable way to travel.
TRANSPORTATION (p.38)

NYC Essentials
than street-level transport. For only
$2.50, you can use the system
citywide and transfer at designated
stations as many times as you
need, so long as you dont exit the
system through a turnstile. You can
even transfer for free from bus to
subway or vice versa within two
hours of first swiping your Metro-
Card. Subway trains travel both
above and underground (most
Manhattan subway stations and
routes are underground). Uptown
trains head north; downtown trains
head south; and crosstown trains
travel east and west.
Subway stations are generally
8 to 10 blocks apart. Pick up a
free subway map from booth
attendants or at any Official NYC
Information Center. Use the map
in this section of the guide to
familiarize yourself with the layout
of the subway system. You can
also visit tripplanner.mta.info for a
customized subway or bus route.
(Note: Subways do not go to
Staten Island from other boroughs.
To get there from Manhattan, you
need to board the Staten Island
Ferry.) The MTAs Staten Island
Railway and buses transport
visitors around the island, from the
St. George Ferry Terminal in the
north to Tottenville in the south.)
MTA buses are excellent for
reaching destinations not con-
venient to a subway stop. All City
buses accept MetroCards as well
as exact coin change. As with the
subway system, riders pay either
$2.75 for a single ride or $2.50
with an unlimited-card (on local
buses) to ride any distance till the
end of the route. Express buses
cost $6. Buses also operate 24/7
(there may be exceptions in more
remote areas of the City). Waiting
times vary, but usually run 1020
minutes depending on time of day.
While slow when theres traffic,
buses are great for sightseeing.
Bus stops are on alternating
blocks on avenue routes and on
every block on crosstown routes.
Late at night, from 11pm to 5am,
Request-a-Stop bus service
allows riders to get off the bus
anywhere the driver can safely
stop. Simply inform the bus driver
of where you want to get off.
Taxicabs
NYCs licensed, yellow taxicabs
operate 24 hours, provide door-
to-door service and accept cash
or credit cards.
To hail a taxi, stand at any curb
and look for a yellow cab with an
illuminated white number on top.
Off-duty cabs display the illumi-
nated words Off Duty on the
same sign. Board and exit a cab
NYCs ubiquitous
yellow cabs.

curbside. At your hotel, the door-
man can hail a cab for you (a $1
tip is customary for this service).
There is a minimum meter fare
of $3 ($2.50 plus 50 NY State
tax surcharge), and prices
increase based on the distance
and duration of the trip (assume
prices are higher during peak
rush-hour traffic). A variety of
surcharges apply above the meter
price and drivers appreciate a
15%20% gratuity at the end of
a trip. Bridge and tunnel tolls are
extra (and not included in the
taxis metered fare).
Other Travel Modes
Walking and public transit are
easy ways to get around, but you
can also travel NYC by bike,
pedicab, ferry or even tramway.
The community-sharing program
Citi Bikeprovides 6,000 bikes
at 330 street-side stations. Unlock
a bike, ride, then return to any
station. There are daily, weekly
and annual passes
There are already more than
700 miles of greenwayslinear,
open spaces linking parks and
communitiesin NYC and more
green is being added. Theyre
great for walking, jogging, biking
and in-line skating. In addition,
Times Square now offers pedes-
trians a car-free environment,
and foot-powered pedicabs are
a common sight in Midtown
and the Theatre District.
Manhattan is home to an exten-
sive ferry system thats great for
sightseeing and taking you
uptown and downtown, as well as
across NYCs rivers. The Staten
Island Ferry connects Manhattan
and Staten Island, while the
East River Ferry links Manhattan,
Queens, Brooklyn and Governors
Island.
Special-Needs
Access
The Citys public transportation
system is accessible to hearing
and visually impaired people and
wheelchair-bound passengers.
Some subways have automated
voices indicating stops, and all
buses plus select subway stations
are wheelchair accessible. In
addition, many street-hail taxis
now accommodate wheelchairs.
For further information about
wheelchair accessible taxicabs,
call NYCs hotline 311 (within the
City) or 212 NEW YORK (if calling
from outside NYC) or the Mayors

Transportation
Navigating your way around New York City
is easy and fun. The City has seven area
airports, energy-efficient public subways and
buses and an extensive network of bridges,
tunnels, cruise ports and ferries. The fall
months are also a great time to take advantage
of brisk weather with a leisurely stroll to one
of NYCs many landmark attractions. Cyclists
can bike on 700-plus miles of paths and lanes
while those looking for a more traditional way
of getting around can hail a signature NYC
yellow cab anywhere in the five boroughs.
Pedi cabs, limo services, ferries and even
helicopters are also great alternatives. Read
