One of the most helpful New York City travel tips and info is using the subway. Most subway entrances are located on street corners, with a staircase descending to the station. A large green ball outside the station means that that's one where you can buy subway passes. A red ball means you must have fare available to board. Trains that travel north are known as Uptown-bound, and south-traveling trains are Downtown-bound, or sometimes Brooklyn-bound.

If you decide to travel by bus or taxi, then these New York City travel tips and info will be very useful. Bus stops have tall, round signs with a bus emblem and a route number. Some stops have glass shelters, most with a city and transportation map that displays a route and a schedule.

You can't miss the bright yellow taxis in New York. The easiest way to get a taxi is to find a taxi stand, where the cabs line up and you simply wait your turn and step in a cab when it pulls up. However, most of the time you'll have to hail a cab. Try to hail a taxi that's going in the direction you're going. A taxi is available when its white rooftop light is on. Only use yellow taxis because non-yellow cabs may overcharge you. When inside, tell the driver where you want to go by naming the nearest intersection, such as "34th and Broadway."
