The City's rail and bus system is run by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) and known as MTA New York City Transit. It's inexpensive, environmentally friendly and a great way to see sights throughout the five boroughs—and it operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Average bus speeds, which shot up to over 9 miles per hour in 2020 during the early days of the pandemic, have sagged back down to 7.9 miles per hour as of May this year after remaining above 8 miles per hour through 2023, according to MTA figures.

Reduced-fare MetroCards and One Metro New York (OMNY) are available for riders who are 65 or older or riders who have qualifying disabilities. The reduced fare is half the base fare. (For example, the base fare for subways and local buses is $2.90, so the reduced fare is $1.45.)

OMNY lets you pay your MTA bus fare with your phone, credit or debit card, or other wearable device. The OMNY reader can be found immediately after entering the bus.

You can use public transportation to avoid the hefty cab prices. Take the JFK's AirTrain, their public transit line to connect with New York City's subways, buses, and rails. Public transportation is the most affordable way to get to downtown, and may be the fastest with traffic.
