TRANSPORTATION

How Not to Get Lost When Commuting Around the City

The Subway

• The most cost-efficient way to travel: $2.00 fare (MetroCard) includes all transfers. Buy from a machine or booth clerk.
• Look for maps in every subway car. Make sure you know if the train you’re riding is Express or Local, Uptown or Downtown.
• Don’t ever jump the turnstiles. You will get busted.

MTA website

The Bus

• Same fare as subway, make sure you have a MetroCard or exact change (buses do not accept dollar bills).
• Look for bus route maps at any stop.
• All buses have numbers that are preceded by a letter that stands for their major route. (B- Brooklyn, Bx- Bronx, Q- Queens, M- Manhattan, S- Staten Island).
