How to use the New York subway map
There’s a lot to see and read from the free subway map for New York. I’ll highlight the most important things:
- Every subway line has a distinct color and a number or letter.
- The numbers and letters that you see with every station are the subway trains that stop there.
- Bold numbers/letters mean all day service, 7 days a week. Regular numbers/letters mean limited or weekday-only service.
- Black dots indicate local-only stops, whilst white dots show express stations. Local trains stop at every station, while express trains skip some stops, which makes them faster.
And don’t be confused about the geography, the MTA map isn’t perfectly to scale or aligned with actual street grids. Its primary purpose is to show you the subway lines, stations, and transfer points in a clear way.

If you would like to navigate the Big Apple offline, I would recommend downloading my free app. Here you will be able to see all of the subway lines and stops in the city. I update the app regularly, so all information is up to date.
Getting a Paper Metro Map
You can order metro tickets – also called New York MetroCards – via my website. Together with your order, you will receive a paper metro map. I always recommend ordering the subway tickets before you leave for New York. Then you don’t have to queue at the ticket machine at the metro station, but you can immediately discover the city.
