No Need To Buy A Subway Ticket In New York City

Posted by aeetrheim on

Well, at least not a paper ticket.

Just wanted to write a fast and dirty run-down of how to use the subway in New York City.

If you’re staying around, you can buy a pass. But if you’re only going to do a couple trips, no need to buy a MetroCard. I live in New York City and I don’t even know how to do that.

Here’s what you do:

You just walk up to one of these bad boys (below, on the left:)

Here is the machine where you can tap to pay without having to buy a ticket at the new york city subway stations.

And you tap your Credit Card or cell phone with Apple Pay (above, on the right.)

It will turn green, cha-ching, you can pass through, it charges your card $2.75, and you are ready to use the Subway!

How cool and easy is that?
