Subway from Penn Station to Broadway (Help ASAP)...?
You can go to the token booth clerk and buy a MetroCard. A SingleRide Ticket costs $2.75 (so $5.50 round-trip). If you're adding money to an existing MetroCard, it's only $5, BUT you have to have the MetroCard already, or else it's an extra $1. You can pick one up off the ground, OR you can buy one from a supermarket or deli, because the $1 surcharge only applies to MTA facilities. In any case, you can take the (C) or (E) train to 50th Street. The (C) should be going Uptown towards Washington Heights, and the (E) should be going Queens-bound to Jamaica. The (C) stops on the upper level, so it'll save your friend the trouble of walking one flight of stairs. An alternative is to take the bus. The M20 runs up 8th Avenue, and it'll give you a little tour of Manhattan, since it runs on surface streets. You can take it from 34th Street to 50th Street. The one-way fare is $2.50, payable in coins or MetroCard. Keep in mind that it's slower and more unreliable than the subway. Going back downtown, take the Downtown (C) or (E) to Penn Station, or you can walk over to 7th Avenue and take the M7 or M20 to Penn Station. (There's also the M11 on 9th Avenue) I hope this information was very helpful.
It depends on which airport, what time of day, and where you’re coming from in the EV.JFKSubway: If you’re close to the L, take it towards Brooklyn to Broadway Junction, switch to A to Howard Beach and take the AirTrain. If you’re closer to Houston, take the J to Sutphin Blvd. Total $8.25 for 2 separate fares (subway and AirTrain).Taxi: Flat fare of $52 plus tolls, the 50-cent MTA State Surcharge, the 30-cent Improvement Surcharge, and $4.50 rush hour surcharge (4 PM to 8 PM weekdays, excluding legal holidays). Don’t even bother trying to catch a cab around 4pm: no taxi will take you because it’s too close to shift change, and the traffic will usually take longer than the subway. You can try Uber, but expect surge pricing and traffic. If you take the taxi, ask the driver to take the Williamsburg Bridge to the BQE so you can avoid the midtown tunnel toll.LGA:Taxi is really the best option, usually takes around 30 minutes for $25. If you try the subway, the best way is the F from 2nd Avenue to the Q70 bus, which can take up to an hour and a half. Again, avoid rush hour times and ask for the Williamsburg Bridge to BQE to avoid tolls, otherwise it will be closer to $40 with tip.EWR:Subway and Newark Express Bus: If it’s not rush hour, this is my preferred mode. Take the 4/5/6 to Grand Central and walk to 41st St. between Park and Madison. Coach buses leave every 15 minutes, make a few other stops in Manhattan, then take you directly to the 3 terminals at Newark. You can purchase tickets in advance or on board with cash or credit card. Subway fare + Bus ticket = $19.75, you can save a few bucks if you buy a round trip.Subway and NJTransit: Take the L to 8th Avenue and switch to the A to get to Penn Station. This subway transfer has elevators on both trains, so this is especially useful if you have a large suitcase. Buy a NJ Transit pass which includes the AirTrain ticket. Several trains go to the airport, look for the little airplane icon on the schedule board. Don’t get off at Newark Penn Station! They decided to name the stops in a confusing way, but the airport is the 3rd stop, right after Newark Penn Station. Subway fare + NJTransit fare = $16.75.Taxi: Will run you at least $80 because NJ and NY taxi companies don’t allow pickups in the other state, and tolls are expensive.
Which subway/bus do you take from the SI Ferry to get to the Museum of Natural History in Central Park?
Directions from the American Museum of Natural History: http://www.amnh.org/museum/welcome/direc... http://www.hopstop.com/?city=newyork suggests several routes from the Staten Island Ferry (85 Whitehall St.) to the American Museum of Natual History (Central Park West/W. 79th to W.81st St.) I think the easiest may be to take the 1 train from the South Ferry station and continue uptown until the 79th St/Broadway stop, then walk the 2 blocks east to the museum. Otherwise, you could still take the 1 at South Ferry or the R or W at Whitehall St/South Ferry and transfer over to the B or C lines at either 42nd St/Times Square, and then take the B or C train uptown to the 81st St/Museum of Natural History stop.

Do some kids or teenagers who live in nyc ride the subway to school?
NYC is special in that high school students, and most middle school students do not have yellow school buses. Instead, students get a special Student MetroCards that gives them free access to the subways and local buses. Roughly 70 million rides are taken by students every year on the subway, and another 70 million are taken on the local buses. A lot of students don't live near a subway station (like myself), or the subway doesn't provide an easy trip to our school, so instead, we use the local bus system to get to school. But students traveling long distances generally use the subway. I hope this information was very helpful.
Subways of New York City ????
Maps are everywhere, on the trains, on the platforms, in bodegas and they are pretty self explanatory. Since you are a tourist, always take the local trains rather than the express ones as you may end up missing your stops. As far as etiquette is concerned, don't stare at people on the train, just keep to yourself. If your with family or friends, have conversations but keep them low-key; no one wants to hear about your life. The subway is where most people just want to be left alone as most are either on their way home from work, school, or are just tired. Stay out of the way of foot traffic! if you get lost, pull out your map real stealthy, but move to the side so you dont block people. this is concerned of new yorkers biggest pet peeves as tourists as well as inconsiderate fcuks seem to just stop and stare thus holding up everyone elses day. Saftey is pretty good on the trains nowadays, especially during the days. Dont give to beggers as most are crack heads or hustlers that beg for a living because its more profitable then the minimum wage job they could ever get. Dont believe the sob stories they tell you! As a matter of fact, dont even acknowledge them, however keep them in the corner of your eye because they definately know your a tourist (you cant help it, its just obvious to us all lol) Pick up a weekly fun pass which you can buy at any station. itll last all week and will be unlimited so you only end up ever paying once. Just as a side note, stay off the Lexington Avenue Line (#4,#5,#6) trains as well as the Broadway/7th Avenue Line (#1,#2,#3) trains during rush hour as they get very crowded and as a first time visitor here, it may be too much for you to handle. Other than that, you should be fine. Have a good time and be sure to see more than Times Square as there is so much more to New York than that. In fact, most natives never really go there as its seen as cliche, passe, and essentially non-new york. Have fun!
I spent almost two years working in New Jersey (near NYC) and I would suggest that the answer depends on where you are living. I have personal experience with the following train stations and I would recommend parking at them:WoodbridgeLinden (although parking around to it the corner in front of the local VFW is a decent security option)EdisonUnionSummitBridgewaterPrincetonShort HillsHackensackI have parked my POV at all of these train stations, gone into NYC and I have returned w/ no damage to my vehicle and having had no problems as far as street crime. This doesn't mean that what didn't happen won't happen to you;I'm just relating my impressions based upon my personal experiences.I would suggest avoiding the following stations:Elizabeth - The security at this station is largely non-existentRahway - Same as aboveMetropark (Too isolated at night)Trenton (Too isolated at night and getting your vehicle after it's been towed is a logistical nightmare)Harrison
NJ Transit from Penn Station is usually the best option to get to Newark Airport from the Upper West Side (http://www.njtransit.com/rg/rg_s...).Journey time is 25 mins (+ allow 15 mins for AirTrain to your terminal)Trains operate 5am to 2am dailyAt least 6 trains/hour between 6am and 9pm$12.50 one-way (includes AirTrain access fee)To get to Penn Station from UWS, the 1, 2, 3, A and C lines all stop there, or grab a cab depending on your specific location.Taking a cab directly to the airport is less hassle, but doesn't necessarily save time, and will run $70-90. The quickest journey will run about 35 minutes, much longer with traffic.
No. NYC MTA Metrocard can only be used on NYC Subways, Buses and other intercounty (i.e., Nice, Path).Long Island Rail Road and Metro North (to upstate & Connecticut) are considered Commuter Rails, you’ll need to purchase separate train tickets at the station, on your mobile device via their app, or on the train for a more expensive fee.There are no turnstiles for these commuter trains. It is more or less an honor system. There are conductors that goes around to check your paper or mobile tickets.
