The next option for traveling around the city is the most expensive but also the most reliable. If the subway isn't an option (we don't blame you), then a taxi is something to consider. Fares will be high and passengers will have to endure the car's lurches as it makes its way through the city's traffic, but eventually the sound of horns will turn into white background noise. It's a quick way to get from one place to another, and it's also a safe way to do it, especially at night.
In fact, if the distance back to the hotel is too long, travelers should consider taking a taxi anyway to be safe. From workers to street musicians and merchants, people whose livelihoods depend on the system offered a complex portrait of the subway as the number of passengers approaches the pre-pandemic normality. There are many ways to travel within the city, and while the subway is the cheapest and the fastest, in most cases, it's not something beginners need to try. Workers, vendors, merchants and street musicians may be specially trained to assess subway problems and promises.
I took the subway and a New Yorker was kind enough to take my suitcase up the stairs; it must have looked like I was going to faint from exhaustion. A series of thrusts, stab wounds and shootings on trains have attracted public attention and, just days before the midterm elections, safety in the state subway has become a key issue in the unexpectedly tight race for governor. After a long night in Manhattan, the time has finally come to cross the mighty East River and return to your homeland, Brooklyn. Most nights of the week, and even late at night, you'll find it hard to get a seat on the New York subway.
For 22 years, and working as a security representative for Local 100 of the Transportation Workers Union, he said the system became “illegal” at the height of the pandemic. The daily trip to school and back home soon seemed familiar to me and I was even able to help tourists find their way through the subway maze. Don't wander to the end of the platform if you're going to fly only when you leave late at night, especially if there's no one else waiting for the train. On the other hand, don't think that the New York subway is “incomplete” because it's underground and smells bad.
Last night I went to Brooklyn Bridge Park to take a last look at the Manhattan skyline and the Brooklyn Bridge at night. During his night shift cleaning the Eighth Avenue station and 34th Street, he picked up needles and worked with people who refused to move or couldn't move.
