The complex and most extensive public transport in New York City is MTA. Throughout the 5 boroughs, subway and bus services operate round the clock moving over 6 million people every day from one point to the other for a paltry $2.0.

The subway system was not what the locals and visitors experience in modern times. The 1970 system which once represented a dingy and hot facility has now been transformed in to a convenient, safe and comfortable means of transportation covering every corner of the metropolis.

Millions of people use the subway every single day and the turnstiles play host to a billion people every year. Homelessness and minor thefts are still abound, but the subway has come a long way and is much better than what it was predicted to be during the financially troubled days that New York City experienced.

PATH or the Port Authority Trans-Hudson offers 5 subway style stations along 6th avenue, 33rd street, 14th street, 23rd street and 9th street and Christopher street. Newark and Hoboken Jersey City are the terminals and all trains from the five points mentioned above run to these terminals. At the terminals the subway trains connect to the NJ Transit commuter lines serving New Jersey and Orange and Rockland County.

In addition to the rail systems the NYCTA operates the largest fleet of buses anywhere in the world. Over 4,300 public buses carry some 666 million people every year. The bus system is primarily meant to service routed not served by the rail system.

This is the most populous city in the United States of America, and is known for its significance to the world as being the headquarters of the United Nations. It is also home to the statue of liberty, and is also home to one of the world's largest stock exchange market, the New York stock exchange, as well as some world class learning institutions such as Columbia University and the New York University as well. There thrives a prominent American film industry here also, with the city government funding the arts.

There are also quite a number of ferries which do the rounds in the city's water ways, for instance the Ellis Island ferry which carries people to and from Ellis islands and the statue of liberty. The Staten Island ferry is usually the main mode of transport between the boroughs in Staten Island and Manhattan.
