Rideshare
Rideshare has become increasingly popular all around the country, and it’s no different in NYC. Remember that surge pricing can be unpredictable and shorter rides can still be fairly costly. Be prepared and plot alternatives just in case.
Subway
The New York City subway system is the largest of its kind in the United States, with over 24 lines and 472 stations. Over five million passengers ride it daily. The subway is perfect for quick stops and longer rides all the way across town.
Taxis
The iconic yellow cab is one of the oldest and most popular ways to get around NYC. All you need to do is hail one on the street corner or use an app like Curb to call one or schedule a pick-up for events or easy trips to the airport.
