Subway
The New York City Subway is the easiest and most economical means for getting around NYC should you be one of the brave souls that dares venture beyond Morningside Heights. The current base fare is $2 per ride. (Don't complain since in London the fare is £4 or about $8, though only £1.50 with an Oyster card.) MetroCards are required for entry and can be purchased with cash, credit, and debit cards at any station. Certain pay-per-ride MetroCards can be purchased with cash or flex - at a slight discount - from the vending machines in Lerner Hall.
