Frequently Asked Questions
Is New York City Safe?
Yes. According to the FBI, New York City has the lowest crime rate out of any city with at least 1 million people, making it the safest big city in America. If you find yourself asking yourself this question, chances are, you've been watching too many reruns of Law and Order. Brooklyn has had the most significant drop in crime since the mid-90's and now is statistically safer than popular tourist destinations such as Orlando and Las Vegas.
How often do the subways run?
The subways run 24 hours a day, and every 3 to 4 minutes during rush hour. Click www.mta.info for subway maps and information.

It's good idea to buy a 30-day metro card. A one-day pass costs $7, while a 30-day unlimited pass costs $76. Even if you're only staying a few days, to save money, use a credit card to purchase a 30-day metro card. After your trip to New York is done, call the number on the back of the metro card to get a prorated refund on the unused portion. This will reduce your daily subway costs to $2.50 (instead of $7).
