I often take this train that goes from 205th Street in the Bronx, through Manhattan , and finally all the way to Brooklyn in Coney Island.
It is one of the most widely used trains on the New York City subway system.
Today, I’m taking this train from the Rockefeller Center Station at 47-50 Streets all the way up to the Bronx.
My stop is going to be 161st Street and River Avenue , now known as Rivera Avenue after former New York Yankees star, Mariano Rivera , to Yankee Stadium .
There is another Yankees game going on, so the station and train is more crowded than it usually is .
This train is an express train, which means that it skips many stops, mostly in Manhattan .
After it gets to 59th Street at the Columbus Circle station, it goes express and doesn’t stop until the train reaches 125th Street in Harlem.
The train might be crowded and the seats are uncomfortable , but you will be using this train a lot if you come to New York City .
I’m curious, how much does riding the train cost for you on an average week? It is cheaper than using a vehicle due to the parking or is the train that just that convenient? ~ Johanna

You can get a weekly pass for $21. Since I’m a senior I pay a different rate. $1.35 as opposed to $2.75. Subways are very convenient . They run 24 hours and parking is high here . People who live in the suburbs even take the train .

All of us complain about it a lot but let something or someone do something to our subway system. New Yorkers will go crazier than we normally are.
