Getting Around New York City
The best form of transportation around the city is the subway/bus system. The best deal for visitors to NYC is to buy a Metrocard Fun Pass which costs $4.00 and allows you to use the subway as much as you like for a 24-hour period. These cards can be purchased from token booths and metrocard machines at any station.
