NYC Subway – The subway system is much safer to use these days and it is cheap extensive and trains run often. If you are staying in Manhatten, as many tourists so, you can pretty much get everyhwere you want using the subway system.

Local Buses – A lot of visitors use the subway because it is easier to immediately know the routes. The bus service though is very good and can sometimes be more direct. The real benefit though is that you get to see a lot more of NYC by travelling at street level rather than undergound.
