The fare is $2.25 for buses and trains.If you pay that on a bus and then you get on the train, you will have a free transfer and backwards. A month pass is about $90- unlimited - which I don t think you will need because you will be here for 5 days only. If you pay $2.25 on a train you can transfer on another train for free if the trains meet at the same station (meaning you dont have to go out the subway and in again). If you go out and want to go back in, you will have to pay again $2.25It s tough- they have raised the fare up in the sky.
The fare on the subway is $2.25 a trip regardless of distance traveled. However, since you re going to be in town for 5 days, you can purchase a one day unlimited ride MetroCard, which you can use for unlimited travel anywhere in the city for $8.25 a day ($41.25 for 5 cards).If you preferred to use one card for the 5 days you re town, may I recommend the 7-day unlimited ride MetroCard, which cost $27.I hope this information is very helpful.Good luck and happy holiday
The 7-Day Unlimited Ride MetroCard will work out better for you.It cost US$27 and woks out to about US4.00 per day which save you US$.4.25 per day over the 1-Day Fun Pass. One other thing. Express buses only accept 7-Day Express Bus Plus MetroCard or Pay-Per-Ride MetroCard so keep that in mind when using buses over the rails.
