Getting around New York

New York has one of the most extensive transit networks in the world, and you'll rarely need anything else to get around.

The subway, run by MTA New York City Transit, is the backbone of the city. It reaches Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, and the Bronx, and it's the fastest way to move between neighbourhoods, day or night.

Local buses, also operated by MTA New York City Transit, fill in the gaps the subway doesn't reach. They run along the main avenues and across the outer boroughs, and are useful for shorter hops or when you're staying in a neighbourhood between subway stops.

Commuter rail, operated by NJ TRANSIT RAIL, connects Midtown Manhattan with New Jersey and is handy if your plans take you across the Hudson. Metro-North Railroad serves the northern suburbs, including White Plains, so it's worth knowing about if you're heading that way.

The NYC Ferry connects several Manhattan and outer-borough waterfront neighbourhoods and is a pleasant way to travel if your destination is near the water.

Taxi and rideshare are available across the city and can be a good call when you're arriving late or have a lot of luggage.
