Newer trains have signage indicating the current or next stop, but it’s advisable to watch through the train window as you near your stop.(You may get jostled or shoved out of the way). Be careful not to block other passengers’ entrance or exit.If you cannot find a seat, hold onto the poles or railings (trains often lurch, turn and stop abruptly).On crowded trains, this may require a certain level of assertiveness. Trains stop briefly at each station, so it’s important to enter and exit quickly through the doors.Part of most New Yorkers’ daily routine: the subway platform Photo: Jeff Dobbins On the Subway Check here for a list of WiFi-enabled stations. Many subway stations are equipped with cellular network access and free WiFi. In general, local trains run on the “outer track” (close to the tunnel walls), and express trains run on the “inside track.” While waiting for the train, listen for system announcements, and always stand behind the yellow strip at the platform’s edge. Read station signs carefully, noting the subway line and route, direction (Uptown or Downtown, Brooklyn, etc.), and local or express trains. An interactive map is available here, which can be printed as a PDF. Subway maps and information are posted near the entrance, as well as on the train platforms. While select stations have Information Booths staffed by MTA agents (particularly near tourist destinations), most stations are unmanned. The MTA won’t process a refund without a receipt. The machines sometimes malfunction, charging you without producing a card. To avoid multiple fees, hang onto your card and refill it as necessary.Īlways get a receipt from the Metrocard vending machine. The MTA charges a $1.00 fee for new Metrocards. You get an automatic free transfer between subway and bus, or between buses. Metrocards are accepted on both the subway and city buses. Pay-per-ride cards are sharable and can be swiped up to four times before the delay. Note: Unlimited cards cannot be shared – there is an 18-minute delay between swipes. The fare is $2.50 ($2.75 for Single-Ride cards). They accept payment by cash, debit, or credit card. Metrocards are sold by vending machines found at station entrances.
The subway utilizes Metrocards, which are swiped through readers on the turnstiles for entry to the platforms.
