The subway is the most convenient and economical way to move quickly between the neighborhoods, when you have to schedule various areas of the city to see. Welcome to the means of transport by which you will find more to do during your holiday in New York. If you use this means of transport for the first time, you might want to know how it works, to guide you in the right way and not find yourself in panic, before your first experience of this railway line. The name by which the Americans gave to the New York subway is “Subway”, a name that you will find on many signs. http://web.mta.info/metrocard/ This is the place to find the latest information.
26 lines and more than 460 stations interconnect all districts of New York (except Staten Island, an island and you can reach by water). Remember this subway runs every day of the week (24 hours out of 24), with higher hourly intervals at the weekend (and even at night bands). Before you leave, looking at a map of the metro http://web.mta.info/maps/submap.html understand the extraordinary complexity and simplicity of this railway line, but we recommend you to always keep with you that precious piece of paper. Above the station walls 36th Street Brooklyn, discover the result of the creativity of American painter Owen Smith.
You’ll find that those trains have numbers, letters and colors. You’ll find local trains (which stop at all stations), or express trains (which stop only at some stations). You’ll discover how valuable verify the direction of the metro, because the trains are distinguished between those who go to the north (with the inscription Uptown & Bronx / Queens), and those who travel to the south (with the inscription Downtown and Brooklyn). Do not forget that the inputs of the stations almost always display a green light (if it is red, the station does not do full-time service, or is a single output station). You will learn many things, but for your holiday in New York you will agree to buy a MetroCard (in metro stations or ticket machines). http://web.mta.info/nyct/subway/
Some valuable advice? Salts in the center coaches (where often there is an employee of the subway). Being courteous is always a good idea, even here, with who falls and rises. Here a huge kind of people, so it is best not to stare at people in the eyes, to avoid unpleasant provocations. Your wallet? Preferably on the front pockets, kept in plain sight. In a metro station you may also see a stop! But if a group of NYPD cops took away a handcuffed person, go quiet into your direction. This is also the New York subway. http://www.nyc.com/visitor_guide/
