Subway to brooklyn.....?

I have been asking a lot of questions about the subway, but i just want to be sure! =]

so as retarded as these questions may sound, I just have to know!



Does the NYC subway take you to Brooklyn? And is the subway in Brooklyn that same as the NYC subway?

the reason I am asking is there is a particular place I want to visit in Brooklyn. When i was on Google Maps I got the directions from a station closest to my hotel in Midtown and got the Directions to get to this place. I have to get on a subway that takes me into Brooklyn, and then switch to another subway in Brooklyn. Will my weekly metrocard cover that? Or will it be a serperate charge since it isn't exactly in NYC?



[i live in a suburb. we have to drive everywhere. there isn't even a subway in the state i live in, please forgive me] =]Subway to brooklyn.....?
You can certainly take the subway to most parts of Brooklyn, and it is the same subway system. Not all lines go to Brooklyn, but many do.



You're metrocard is good anywhere in the system, and it costs the same no matter where you go in the subway system.



You should know two imporant things, however.



1) Brooklyn is a part of NYC. NYC is divided up into 5 boroughs - those are five political divisions of NYC. Manhattan is the one in the middle, and many people think it is the whole of NYC, but that is incorrect. The other boroughs are also part of NYC.



2) Brooklyn is BIG! It is far bigger than Manhattan. Brooklyn is also bigger than most major cities in the U.S. - Brooklyn is bigger than San Francisco, Washington D.C., Boston.... In other words, Brooklyn all by itself is the size of a major city.



If you are planning to go to Brooklyn, you'd better figure out where in Brooklyn you are going.



Some nice parts of the borough to visit are:



Brooklyn Heights



Park Slope

It is one system and Brooklyn is part of it so the Metrocard is good



People switch trains all the time as the lines go in all different directios



Just go from one platform to the next to catch the new train



FYI New York has 5 boroughs Manhattan Brooklyn Bronx Queens and Staten Island.



Sometimes people call Manhattan New York, but the reality is all 5 boroughs are New YorkSubway to brooklyn.....?
New York City Subway System is one system and are connected in all four boroughs of New York City, which is Brooklyn, Queens, Manhattan, Bronx via transfer point or some section require MetroCard for free transfers.

It is only subway system while Staten Island, other borough is offered by Staten Island Railway.



It's best to use MTA Trip Planner and consult MTA Subway Map.

NYC Subway is not like other state. All over the NYC area, including city buses, Long Island Bus, and Bee-Line Buses in Westchester County currnelty charge $2.00.
