- Branko DBelgrade, Serbia9 contributionsThe NYC subway is a convenient, safe, and affordable way to get around the city. It can be a bit confusing at first, with limited announcements for upcoming stops and no maps inside the trains, making it hard to know your location. However, after a few rides, it becomes much easier to navigate and incredibly useful. That said, it’s challenging for people with disabilities or parents with small children to access.Written November 25, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Dan KThe Hague, The Netherlands9,039 contributionsGood and fast way to get from Jersey City to NYC, as we did on a daily basis. The ticket machines are a nightmare, as you need to enter the postcode of your credit card.
A member of staff had to explain that, but there’s no sense entering a vice dixit postcode if you’re not from the US. To bypass this, you can enter five zeros.
We had to use the ticket machines, because you cannot tap your contactless card when using a stroller to pass the barriers. Multiple credit cards got rekeyed, and only worked after multiple attempts of buying tickets. Recommend to use cash if you’re in a hurry and need a single ticket, because buying with a credit card is a lengthy process. The ticket you buy, gets ‘eaten’ by the machine if you use it to pass the barrier. Making the whole ticket buying process for PATH a very red tape thing to do.
Other than that we had no troubles with PATH, part from elevators not working.Written July 21, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Thankfully I’ve been many times before so knew what type of ticket I was looking for but there were several others who were not familiar and were “assisted” in making their purchase form the ticket machines. The issue was the “assistant” was not employed by the PA and made people feel uncomfortable by asking for a tip. I feel that the PA should have customer service staff at each door to prevent this from happeningWritten October 18, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- The Five Road Trippers 🚙🎡🎢🧳Long Island, NY16,122 contributionsThe M50 is a crosstown bus that runs on 49th street westbound and 50th street eastbound. It traverses Rockefeller Center and just north of Times Square. The bus was on time and clean. To my surprise, the USB ports actually worked.
I prefer riding the bus over the subway.Written August 11, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

So I was happy to ride it. Very crowded and much-used, so I guess it is much-needed. The stations are big and clean, but not well-decorated. Much deeper than other stations, so the escalators were very welcome.Written November 26, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
