Riding tips
Paying
- OMNY (tap-to-pay) works at every turnstile — MetroCard was retired in early 2026
- Base fare is $3.00; 12 taps in a week and the rest of that week is free
Timing
- 7–9 AM and 5–7 PM are the crowded windows on weekdays
- Express trains (the diamond-marked lines) skip local stops — check the sign before boarding
Etiquette
- On escalators, stand right, walk left
- Let riders off before you board
