She said enter the credit card and then she would enter "MY ZIP CODE".... does this mean the pin of her credit card is her ZIP Code? ahahahahah

Best thing to do is walk in NY. You can walk from one side East River to Hudson river in an hour or so.

Something you forgot to mention: NEVER stand on the left side of an escalator. The left side is for walking, the right side is for standing.

This video was tremendously helpful this week while I was in the NYC area from DC. I was booked as a background actor for a two day shoot in Midtown Manhattan. However, my hotel was in Maspeth, Queens. My call time each day was 4 o’clock in the afternoon for 10-12 hour overnight shoots. Although I had my car, I really did not want to hassle with the idea of driving into the city at that hour and try to find parking, not to mention the expense of a parking garage. I watched this video and thought that I might give it a try. I downloaded the app and enter the route info. I was pleasantly surprised to find that I could catch a bus across the street from my hotel that took me directly to Queens Plaza subway station, where I could catch a train to my destination in Midtown.-Bryant Park. One bus, one train. How easy would that be? I must mention that I am a 70-year-old woman with no experience using Metro. Despite the easy route and excellent information in this video, I was very apprehensive. I was concerned about getting off at the correct stop, taking the correct train in the right direction - uptown or downtown, but mostly I was concerned for my safety. I was fairly certain I could get to my destination safely, but I wasn’t at all certain as to how safe my return trip would be. I decided I would go for it. After downloading the app, I entered my route, and it was displayed step-by-step from beginning to end. The most difficult part was trying to find $2.75 in change until I can get a MetroCard. The first day was a breeze. Although I had the instructions and directions from the app, I did ask a few people, including the woman working at the subway booth. I’ve heard over the years that New Yorkers are unfriendly and dismissive. If I had a question, I would ask someone, and they were very friendly and helpful and providing the information I needed. Did Metro transit women was especially helpful providing step-by-step instructions as to using the MetroCard machine. It was covered in the video, but I didn’t remember the details at the time. We wrapped it 630 the following morning. The sun was up and I decided to take the train and bus back to the hotel. I felt that I could safely do that and it was not a problem at all. I was advised by fellow actors that I should not use this motive transportation if we were to rap at midnight or early morning hours. I still had one more long day and night i’m shooting, and I thought about driving and just biting the bullet for the parking garage. When the time came, I decided to used MTG a second time. What I did forget was that I could use my metro card on the bus and it would automatically transfer me to the subway. I’m not remembering that, I scrounged up another $2.75 and change the second day and use that, in addition to the metro card for the subway. I only say scrounge up,because coins were hard to come by at that point. I wish I had realized the metro card would’ve been sufficient. But, next time. The second night of shooting wrapped around two or 2:30 in the morning. I nixed the idea of public transportation back to the hotel, and used another mode of transportation that I had not yet used and experienced-ride share. Nope. I’ve never used Uber or Lyft, but I did that night. I downloaded the Lyft app, and my return trip from Midtown to my hotel was a seamless 15-20 minute trip. It was a little more than $2.75, but I did not worry about my safety. I would suggest watching this video several times. If you attempt public transportation in the city, I would suggest watching the video again after your first trip. You will catch things that you missed the first time around, but will prove extremely helpful for the next time. As much as I like the convenience of using my car to get around, I was extremely impressed by how easy it is to use Metro transit and how efficient - time wise and financially- it is. Oh, and by the way, the buses and the subway trains show and call all of the stops before you arrive at those points. They really have taken the guesswork out of it.

This is the most useful video I have ever seen from NYC!! Thank you SO much for sharing. Sometimes we are so used to the "system" that it looks too basic, but those tips are priceless for first timers! Mainly for us, tourists from abroad 😁 THANK YOU!!!

Your enthusiasm for explaining things is beautiful!

Great video Sarah - and you have a fantastic smile! ☺

Awesome videos from Sarah! Very helpful.

Thanks for all your videos, love your work! We are gonna be visiting your city on August. Greetings from Spain!

I was only there three days but was running all over the place and went with the unlimited card, it was totally worth it. I try to give the card to a homeless person before I leave so they can use it for the rest of the days.

Came across your channel yesterday, yay! Now I cant stop watching!

I'm going to NYC for the first time in 5 weeks and your videos are super helpful. Thank you!

Really great information with lots of detail! Because of Covid I haven’t been able to get up to New York City to stay with my daughter, but I am enjoying the information on this channel and will be using some of it when I get up there!

I needed this video so back I could cry! Thank you so much Sarah - my public transport anxiety is at bay now

Great video. Wonderful tips that I will certainly use to help me get around the city

I just want to say thank you so much for your channel! Me and my partner are planning to move up to NYC after living in Texas for all of our lives and your videos have been helping me understand everything so well. Thank youuuu.

I just came across your page and love the tips as I am a flight attendant and sometimes take the subway or walk as where I come from we walk a lot. So thank you for this in-depth subway subject. Definitely gonna follow you. Thanks again!

This was very good. Some of the shots were amazing, and I downloaded one more app. Thank you!

Your videos are a lifesaver, thank you !!

Your videos are so well made, congrats!

Thank you, arrived from Ireland yesterday. It was a great help to get started on using the subway. Just to say that "dip" means putting your card in and out immediately. Also, it doesn't matter if you don't have a zip code when buying the metro card, it will pause and go ahead anyway.

Amazing NYC video! 😍

The select bus is different than an express bus, the sbs is still $2.75 and I felt bad for others since you got on a sbs but didn't mention it, but an express bus is usually going from another borough to Manhattan, it's just an alternative to the subway (and a more expensive way)

Thank you!!

Thank you for teaching me about public transportation. It’s stuff because I use Uber to go to a airport or elsewhere if I want to go to for excanple like NYC to Washington DC I will take megabus or greyhound to go to my destination. Think about the transportation before you go anywhere far or close by taking a bike or a car

Greetings from Singapore. I am leaving NYC in a few hours after spending a beautiful week. Been watching your videos before my trip. Do visit my country if there's an opportunity. One thing I realized, pls listen carefully to whatever the announcement in the station or train. Sometimes they simply skipped certain stations and if you not aware, you could missed your stop.

Lyft is totally the best. I use it all the time in Vegas. And i will definitely use it when I go to NY for the first time. :)

Is it better than uber?

You still need to pay for the select before getting on whether you have a pay per ride or unlimited card😭 also if you pay with exact change on a local bus, the paper transfer can only be used on another bus, other than that, great video and you showed great points throughout! :))

Midtown and Downtown Manhattan.

Sarah loved your videos and they were great for our trip to New York. You just need to add for people like me from outside the New York [and country in my case] that when you buy a subway card you need to put in the area code! This left me confused and nobody seemed to be able to help me, so eventually I purchased the card from the officer in booth at the subway. Another person gave me the tip to just enter 00000 [five zeros] and this would work as the area code. I did not try this but if you tried this and it is successful then it would be great to have this tip in a video for other travellers.

I have to have both options open to me when I visit NYC. If my trip will be concentrated in the city (Manhattan) or the Bronx, I will use the MTA. If I'm mainly going to be in the outer boroughs (Southeast Queens or Brooklyn with the exception of downtown) I'm driving. Born and raised ex New Yorker (Queens)

Teach us to use the ny subway please!
