METRO CARD

Native New Yorkers favor two modes of transportation: the subway and their feet. The former will get you everywhere fast, bypassing traffic (and, yes, it's safe). The latter will give you a chance to see the city and its inhabitants up close, and to make discoveries that aren't in any book.
You can purchase a METRO CARD at any subway station in the city. Cards range from single rides for $2, to daily and weekly unlimited passes. This is definitely the cheapest mode of transportation and you'll love the convenience! Many trains have been recently replaced and are in brand-new condition. The stations are very clean and safe. However, we recommend that you use either taxis or the bus if traveling late at night. Metro Cards also work for the bus system and you can use the same pass for subway and bus--which is a great savings and very convenient when transferring from one to the other.

TAXI CABS

Taxi Cabs are another safe alternative. They're a bit more expensive than public transportation but, compared to other cities in the world, they're relatively cheap--especially if you're just hopping across town. Taxis are great when you're in a hurry or just tired of walking and want to get back to your hotel.

Hailing a cab

Hailing a cab is fairly simple: Make sure the MIDDLE light is illuminated. If the middle light is OFF, that means they have a passenger and won't stop. In addition, if the side lights are illuminated and say "Off Duty", the cab driver is on a break and won't pick you up. When you see a cab that is available (i.e. center light is ON) just step off the curb slightly, make eye-contact with the driver and wave your arm back and forth. It's important to be aggressive when hailing cabs....otherwise they'll pass right by.
