I travel by subway to the XMAS PARTY. NYC Subway System The New York City subway system is one of the most efficient people transports in the world. The hot and dingy subway system of the 1970's has been completely renovated into a safe, convenient and comfortable transport between nearly all areas of New York City. Over 4.3 million people ride the subway system every day; over 1 billion people go through the turnstiles (Drehkreuz) per year! Fares The primary method of fare payment is the Metrocard. All subway stations and busses are now Metrocard capable. Tokens are also available, and cost $1.50 each. Metrocards can be bought on a pay-per-ride basis ($1.50 per ride) or an unlimited ride basis. With pay-per-ride, you get 11 rides for the price of ten and you can add more money to your card if need be. With unlimited ride Metrocards, you can get a 30 day card for $63, a 7 day card for $17 or a 1 day Fun Pass for only $4. Children less than 44" tall ride for free; senior citizens and disabled people ride for a reduced fare.
