Subway MTA

The Subway (The MTA subway) is the most loved and hated among all public transports of New York City. The faster without a doubt since it avoids the rush-hour street traffic, it is reliable and the tickets can be easily purchased at each Subway Station.

It takes you everywhere and it is not hard to learn to navigate the system. In almost all stations, you will find the MTA Machine where you can buy single-ride or multi-rides card:

• Single Ticket ($ 2.75 valid for 2 hours))
• Unlimited 7-day Card / $ 32.00
• Unlimited 30-day Card / $ 121.00

Both of the PASS are valid for unlimited rides. Now the MTA charges a convenience fee of $ 1.00 for each new MetroCard purchased at the machine, but you can avoid paying it by maintaining and reloading the same card. The New York Subway, or Metro, as you prefer to call it, is not only a form of public transport, it is much more! Some aspects of the "Life in New York City", you will find them just as you wait for the train, and even inside the train, you'll see, it's a beautiful journey!!

The same MetroCard is also valid for the bus network. It's true that the bus runs on the surface and it allows you to see the city, but it is also true that the traffic sometimes makes it long even for a short drive. The stops are frequent, and in any case you are always inside the bus. On the other hand, if you like Buses, we recommend the Double Decker PASS, commonly called Hop on Hop off, allowing you to hop on hop off the buses at your leisure, and you get to sit in the fully open-top, perfect location to take Photos and videos.
