The subway is great. $2.75 can get you anywhere on the island, over to Queens and Brooklyn even. A little dirty, yes, but thats what you get for the same price as a slice of pizza.

An besides, Uber isn't historic and monumental like the subway system is. It's been around for over 100 years and hides some interesting secrets we want to share.
