A
Here are the best ways to get around. Your New York Guest trip planner can advise you on the best way to reach all of your places throughout your visit!
The Subway
It is a very safe way to travel. Stations and directions are clearly marked.One ride costs $2.25 and you pay your fare using a MetroCard, which can be bought in any subway station in the city using cash,credit or debit card.Plan your trip before you go and the subway can easily be the fastest and simplest way to get where you're going.
Buses
Since buses run so frequently, buying a ticket for 48 or 72 hours of unlimited riding can save you tons of time and money! The allaroundtown service has stops in every major neighborhood and will even take you to Brooklyn. For a relaxed sightseeing,this is the way to go.
Taxis
NYC taxis are a great way to make a quick trip from one part of the city to another, or to cover longer distances when you don't feel comfortable using the subway. Taxis cannot be reserved or called in advance, they may only be called on the street. To know whether an approaching taxi is available (可使用的),just check the lights on the top. If the four numbers in the center are lit up but NOT the “off duty” lights on the side, the taxi is available. If the off duty lights are on or all of the lights are off, the taxi is not accepting fares. When you see an available taxi approaching, just hold up your arm and the driver will pull over and let you in!
