How to use New York City Subway?

1. If you are looking for a subway station, look for these iconic green lamps (they look like a Poké Ball).

2. Before entering the station make sure the line you need goes through there. Also, make sure you are entering the direction you need (uptown or downtown train).

3. If you need to go uptown for example, and the sign says downtown, just cross across the street, usually you will find there the entrance you are looking for.

4. Before stepping on the train, make sure this is the train you want. You can find the letter or number of the train on the train's windows. Multiple lines stop on the same platform.

5. To ride the subway you'll need to buy a subway metro card. You can fill your card with either value or time.

6. You can pay separately for each ride $2.75. As long as you are not leaving the station it is considered a single ride. So you can switch subway lines without paying more money.

7. You can buy a 7 day pass for $33 or a monthly pass for $121

8. The trains are very long, the same station may have multiple exits. Your position on the train, front, back or middle can get you closer to the exit you need.

9. There is free wifi in all of Manhattan subway stations.

10. Navigating in the city is very easy with Google Maps or CityMapper apps.
