We're lucky to have such a good public transportation system. Honestly, i think the subway provides excellent service for the money. where else can you travel up to twenty miles (and even more) for two dollars? How much would a taxi cost from the upper west side to JFK? 40 - 50 dollars? If you walked even two miles it would cost more with all the stops to buy food or water.

N4(BUS) for 40 minutes,2$ + E(SUBWAY) for 40 minutes, free xfer
nice and relaxing

doing the math 60$ with the 6 free rides and only 4 more for a complete month This is strictly going to work M-F. If you want the weekends as well then go for that monthly pass.

LIRR is more and saves time but the cost saving is 200+/month or 68$/month you be the judge

Only when I am in a rush or want more sleep then I take the LIRR. Other than that who else like hearing different music everyday on the 42nd st stop waiting for the E or C or A.

One more thing. I dont understand how I can get so far for 2$ yet a piece of food will cost more. Thats just me being really cheap sometimes . And who made the comment about the fatty MTA person this morning I saw one of those people and they screamed at this girl that got on the train when a person or two were leaving. I felt bad for her because he was going crazy on her but when tempers are falring and people gotta get to work you gotta respect.

Touche, but I'm also a little bitter because I pay $239 for a monthly LIRR ticket that used to be $180 a few years ago. Even though that has nothing to do with the subway and is completely irrelevant, it still sucks. I'm also a little pissed today because I missed my 2:52pm train from Penn because the 6 train sucks.

yeah, i can feel that pain. $239 for a month on the LIRR does suck. I'm just speaking about the subway, i think it's actually a very good deal. The weekend track work does suck, and for the most part it causes me to drive into the city. But I usually don't have problems during the week.

no matter what i prefer to pay the fare than sit in bumper to bumper LA style traffic for an hour.
