By Taxi

Taxis in New York are generally good value. Apart from ‘change over’ time between 4 and 5 it is also quite easy to find one. When the numbers on the roof of the cab are lit it is available, just hail it with a raised hand. Standard fares can be seen in the Taxi Fares box to the right.

By Underground Transportation

New York has an efficient and extensive subway service. For your safety note if you're traveling when it's not rush hour, especially at midday or at night, we suggest you wait in the Off-Hour Waiting Area. A yellow sign, usually suspended from the ceiling, identifies them. When you're in one of these areas, a station agent will be able to see you.
