Getting around New York

New York's transit network is one of the most extensive in the country. The subway, run by MTA New York City Transit, is the backbone of it, reaching all five boroughs around the clock and covering most journeys across the city.

The ferry, run by NYC Ferry, is a scenic and practical way to move between waterfront neighbourhoods. It's especially useful if you're heading to or from the Hudson River piers on the west side of Manhattan.

Commuter rail run by NJ TRANSIT RAIL connects Midtown Manhattan to destinations in New Jersey and beyond, handy if your plans take you across the Hudson. Metro-North Railroad's commuter rail serves the northern suburbs, with White Plains a key stop on that network.

Light rail run by JFK Airtrain links the Jamaica area to JFK Airport, making it a straightforward connection for anyone with onward flights.

Local buses run by MTA New York City Transit fill in the gaps across the boroughs, reaching streets and neighbourhoods the subway doesn't cover directly. Taxis and rideshare are also a practical choice for door-to-door travel, especially with luggage or late at night.
