Online NYC Subway online books ?

Question

I don't know much about subway routes / lines etc. as I am going to NYC firsttime. I know there are some websites for some information.
But is there any free online books (pdf etc) which I can download and print which has Subway numbers lines/routes and maps ? I want to keep it handy.

I guess I can get it when I reach in NYC but wanted it now as I want to do some homework before my trip and decide itinerary. So that I dont get confused when I reach there.

Answer 1

www.mta.info is the official site of the MTA - that is the most reliable source for information. An interactice subway map is viewable online on that site, and you can click on each line or each station to get info about it. You can also download the map in printable PDF format at that site. In addition, once you get here, you can just go into any subway station and grab "The Map" for free.

Once you get here and try it, it's not as difficult as it looks on the map. Worst that happens is you get a little lost, but that can always be solved by asking a conductor, officer, or any friendly New Yorker, and they'll help you out, so don't be afraid to do that. Keep in mind, most of Manhattan (as well as parts of the other boroughs) is numbered in a grid pattern, so if you know how to count, you can get around the city fairly easily.

Enjoy your trip!

Try mta.info.

Another helpful site is hopstop.com, which I think is actually better because you can just type in the address of where you're starting and where you want to go and it will give you fairly accurate subway (or bus) and then street directions.

i would drop it all and just be honest. i mean if you were all those things, why would you be on a date site. i'll expect my 10pts for my great insight.
