Getting around in Bronx, NY

The main getting around option in the Bronx, is by subway. The borough has good subway coverage but all lines are mainly north to south, with most lines serving as `access gates` to Manhattan than crosstown travel in the Bronx, and many of the lines are slow and overcrowded at times, therefore, even though, the subway is the main option to get around in the Bronx, it is not necessarily the most convenient.

Many people choose to drive their way through the Bronx, and, another option, besides the subway, would be Metro-North Railroad, which only serves limited sections of the Bronx that tend to be without subway service. The fares are higher than the subway, and the trains don't run as frequently, but they offer less crowding.

There are six lines of the New York City Subway that serve the Bronx, with 70 stations in the borough, and there are, also, 2 Metro-North Railroad commuter rail lines (the Harlem Line and the Hudson Line), which serve 11 stations in the Bronx.

There are several major limited access highways that traverse the Bronx, and these include: the Bronx River Parkway, the Bruckner Expressway (I-278/I-95), the Cross-Bronx Expressway (I-95/I-295), the New England Thruway (I-95), the Henry Hudson Parkway (NY-9A), the Hutchinson River Parkway, and the Major Deegan Expressway (New York Thruway) (I-87).
