Transit directions are very useful and also very important for people that don’t use cars as their primary method of transportation, most of us know that New York City has one of the busiest rail transit systems in the world, if you didn’t know and you happen to be in New York you probably noticed that already. Because of the size of the city and also the size of the metro system people often get confused and end up wasting a lot of time, that’s not all, the worst part is that when people make mistakes like these they end up walking a lot more than they really had to. Making mistakes when you are using the subway are common especially if you are trying to get to a place where have never been before, or if you are a first time adventurous traveler that’s trying to explore the city.
There are some services out there that you can use to get accurate door to door transit directions in NYC for free, a few of these services are well known online mapping softwares that we already know like Google Maps and Mapquest, there are other services that a lot of people don’t even know about that can do a very good job as well, in fact there’s a site that has been built only for NYC rail transit users and a lot of people consider this site to be the best when it comes to getting transit directions in New York City.
When you use the transit rail system or the bus as a method of transportation you also have to walk, right? Of course you do, that’s why all of these services combine transit instructions with walking directions as well because first you have to walk to hop on your ride, then you have to get down and walk again, sometimes you have to take several different rides so it’s very common that sometimes the route planner tells you that you first have to walk to take a bus somewhere then get down and walk a few blocks to hop on another train or bus, and so on. All the route planners that you will find on the list below will create easy to understand routes showing you exactly where to walk to get your ride, where to get down, etc. The sites are very simple and intuitive, I don’t even have to explain what you have to do to generate routes, just visit any of the sites listed below and you will get it.
