When New York travel, to move around the city in order to make all the visits, the recommendation is that you travel by metro, known as the Subway.
While new york subway is neither the most comfortable nor the most modern (for example, the Madrid metro is clearly superior in this respect), the available network is the most extensive in the world, and there is practically no place you want to go that doesn't have a metro station nearby.
Inaugurated in 1904, with more than 1.000 kilometers y 468 stations, New York subway It extends through the boroughs of Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens and the Bronx. Of course, it is surpassed by the Tokyo Metro in terms of the number of people it transports each day.
There are up to 26 different metro services, in the large network of lines that makes up the New York Subway.
It should be noted that 40 percent of the metro route is on surface, with many long sections on metal structures.
Likewise, you should keep in mind that in most New York Subway stations circulate simultaneously local and express lines.
Local trains run on the outer tracks, next to the platforms, and the express trains, along the interior roads, and they stop only at important stations.
When you get on a express train You save time traveling on the subway, but you have to make sure that it will stop at the station where you want to go.
If in doubt, it is best to take a local train that stops in all seasons.
In case you want to plan your visits and trips around New York, it will be useful for you to consult the New York subway map.
I am already 62 years old, I would like to know where I can contact you to have a card to pay half price for the train and bus, thank you
Doris, I suppose that you must buy any discount card at the subway ticket office itself.
Good trip
Years ago I had the opportunity to spend 10 months in New York. I used the Metro. I made trips and visits to spectacular places. I was also able to walk through the avenues of Manhattan, Lexinton, 5th, Rockefeller Center, Times Square, I went down Broadway and went to some theaters, I saw The Cats, Kiss of the Spider Woman, I was at Lincoln Center where Plácido Domingo was performing, A huge and fantastic circus was installed on the same premises. The Zoo in the Bronx, the museums, and I went into the aircraft carrier and atomic submarine.
That's why I read these pages, they bring back pleasant memories of my visit to the city that never sleeps, to the Big Apple, to the capital of the world. Long live New York.
