Visitors should use yellow cabs only. The cab is available only if the center panel of its roof sign is lit. Subways and buses are efficient and inexpensive (less than $5). MetroCards for subways and buses can be purchased in subway stations and from designated merchants. The hotel is about 3 blocks from a subway station. Because of expensive and limited parking, as well as challenging traffic conditions, rental cars are generally not recommended.
