New York - Getting Around
- Probably the easiest way to get around all the must-see New York attractions!
- With tickets valid for 48 hours, these handy buses allow you to hop on and off as much as you like at stops throughout New York.
- Stops include the Empire State Building, the site of the World Trade Center, Central Park, Harlem and more.
- Arguably the fastest – and definitely the most popular - way to get around New York. The subway’s 656-mile system runs 24 hours a day and is pretty darn cheap.
- New York buses also run 24 hours a day, but are obviously hindered by traffic in the rush hours.
- Hailing and riding in a yellow taxi cab is an essential New York experience! The majority are clean and, compared to those in many international cities, pretty cheap.
- To hail a cab, it must have a lit light on its roof. The most difficult times to get a taxi are in the rain, at rush hour and around 4pm, when many drivers finish their shifts.
- Driving is not recommended around Manhattan unless it’s absolutely necessary – car hire is expensive and parking space is limited.
- Unless you’re hiring a car for a trip out of town, it’s probably more hassle than it’s worth, considering New York’s excellent public transport systems.
