I used the subway plenty the last time I was there. I do understand that crime is an issue, but come on. Hundreds of thousands of people use it every day.

Every time I turn on the NYC news up here there are reports of violent crime on the subway. Is it safe to ride? Sure, relatively. But it's not nearly as safe as it was just a year ago, so anyone traveling by subway needs to be aware of that.

I appreciate that you’re looking out for posters, particularly those not familiar with the city, because thats what this board is for . I suppose my argument is that “do not use the subway” is a bit extremist. Is there a risk? Of course. But you’re far more likely to have a quick drop off to your destination than being attacked.

That is your first issue.

The train is fine, just be aware of your surroundings as you always should be. Use google maps and click the bus/train and it will give you exact stops and when you need to switch trains.

Trying to take a cab or Uber during prime traffic hours will take 2-3 times longer.
