  • Astor Place (at Astor Place/3rd Avenue and 8th street) for the 6 local service.

A single ride token is $1.50, a 7-day MetroCard with unlimited rides on subways and buses costs $17.- You can buy it in every subway station. A subway map will be included in your conference pack, detailed transport information can be found at the MTA website: http://www.mta.nyc.ny.us/

Taxis

Taxis are a good way to get about - they are plentiful and fairly reliable. You can just hail a taxi in the street - the illuminated "for hire" light on the top will tell you if they are for hire. The base fare is $2.50, and the fare creeps up based on the distance you travel and the length of time you are in the cab (so the fare will be higher if you are stuck in traffic). You should tip at least 10%.

Buses
