And there are days when the bus comes when it feels like it, the bus is packed, and traffic is bumper-to-bumper on the Bruckner. With the BxM7, you never know what you're going to get. The fare is $6.75, which is borderline overpriced. The buses have comfortable seats and charging outlets. Other than taking the local bus to the slow 6 train, the BxM7 is the only way to get from Coop City to Manhattan.

In 2007, the MTA installedl faceted stained glass windows designed by New York artist Tomie Arai called "Back to the Garden," a nod to the Joni MItchell song lyrics about a more simpler life. You'll find among the floral one of the things I enjoyed the most - inset screened black & white historic photos of areas this White Plains Road Line passes through. Period images of The Grand Concourse, Prospect Avenue, the old subway entrance at East 149th Street, trollies along Third Avenue show how much the Bronx has changed. My favorite pic - the 1890 White Plains Road 2-story wooden Hotel W. Thwaite that also sold wines and lager beer! All in all, they add to this great public artwork, making it worth taking a closer look!

I gave the Ferry only 4 stars bc like any metro in NYC the announcements r garbled & u can't understand it. If ur a tourist & not familiar w/ stops get a map or take a photo of stops to be clear. I live in Manhattan, but had business in Brooklyn via subway train but on the way back didn't want 2b on a smelly stuffy train so I took the Ferry a refreshing 15 minute ride back to the city. It's basically, only 3 stops b4 E. 34th St then L. I. C Queens is the last stop. It's a great trip too for a family outing across the East River. There's also one on the Westside- Hudson River going twds Lincoln Pk -Hoboken NJ, to Frank Sinatra restaurant. I've used them all & I'm very content.

Average Metro North Train Station…read more Been using this location for my Metro North (Harlem Line) use since the late 80's. Not too much has changed other than some cosmetic differences on the platform. The best modification was the digital board they added with the schedule (Grand Central bound side only) - relying on the garbled speakers always sucked. At least the train fare went to something decent.....because it doesn't go to the actual rail service or their schedules. Inside is drab and blah. Sometimes it smells, sometimes it doesn't. I never bothered with the store/eatery inside or any of the overpriced vending machines. They have 2 ticket machines inside, but probably need 2 more since the IQ challenged sometimes tend to take a much longer time to operate the simple machine. There is a booth inside with an agent sometimes, but for anyone in the early morning or evening would be out of luck. There is some slight parking about a block from station, but the area isn't an area I'd want to leave a car at night. At night, sometimes shady characters can be inside or outside the station. During any time here, there are also some strange people.....but that's everywhere. There's one thin stairwell (one stairwell for each side) for exiting passengers and depending on how crowded the train is, it could be a few minutes before you can exit. There is a cab stand across the street and the cab drivers will be on top of most exiting train riders, but I guess it's their job. There's not much room for cars to wait for people they're picking up. There is the 7 bus across the street for the station - but much like the Metro North itself, the bus can be late at times. There are much better stations and much worse stations, but this isn't too bad.

The BxM9 has been and always will be the way to travel quickly in between Manhattan and The Bronx. This bus service offers efficient and personable bus drivers, (I think it's cool to be able to say, 'Good Morning' to a bus driver and actually receive a pleasant response back to start the day off right...it's the little things sometimes). There are comfortable reclining seats, individual overhead lights, individual a/c, and to add to the comfort once you hit the highway the bus driver turns off the interior bus lights so you can get a nice nap during your ride or if you prefer you can use your overhead light if needed. Using the express bus almost daily made me never ever want to ride the train again...I got seriously spoiled. There's a timetable that is adhered to and can be found online and downloaded to your phone. The schedule is pretty much on point even during rush-hour due to the fact that there are designated bus lanes between 30 something street and 59th street on Madison Ave going North and 125th-110th thru 23rd street on 5th Ave going South (Drop Off only). The commute in either direction can be anywhere from 20 mins - 1.5hr, depending on the day plus time of day, driver, traffic or road construction, and/or any other NYC variable that can be thrown at you. As a daily rider you eventually get the hang of timing your commute accordingly. The fare is about $6.00 each way, but if your company offers Flexible Spending Benefits this can help subsidize the cost of using this mode of transport. In addition, if you need to transfer to the train or local bus those connections are free. The BxM9 Express Bus is well worth it for its comfort and convenience.

Do not get distracted by people who look like they work for the terminal authority they are just trying to lock you in on a paid tour to Statue of Liberty. So just stay focus, and get in line for the free ride to Staten Island. Also don't panic these ferry boats are insanely big so you will find a spot to get the views you want. If you leave from NYC stick to the right side and go upstairs for the best photos. Once you've made it to Staten Island without any wait, you get off and roll back into another boat (SI To Manhattan) and do it all over again. If you still want to see the Liberty statue leaving from Staten Island, stick to the left. From Manhattan to SI stick to the right and try to get on the second floor. If you want to explore what's around the area a short walk will take you to Wall Street, you'll see the bull and Trinity Church (where Hamilton and Eliza and Philip are buried). Also with going inside the church even with their very strict security check -- we had to even take Apple Watches which was a first but I'm all about safety so whatever they ask, I'll gladly do it. So if near Wall Street make Trinity Church a stop just like that silly snatching bull! ;)

I've taken this trip many times other than on marathon day. Its one of the few free things you can do in the city whether commuting for work or just for enjoyment. Ferries run constantly throughout the day. Overall, its a well maintained and clean modern facility. It has clean bathrooms and concessions for food and drinks such as Wendy's, Dunkin Donuts, Subway, Auntie Anne's, Pizza, and a bar. Also a market for snacks and souvenirs.
