How much would a NYC cab fare be from Penn Station to Yankee Stadium?|135375

I live on Long Island and don_t want to take the subway to the game. I am wondering around how much it would cost, thanks.

Taxis will cost you $30 and can be extra with traffic headache during the games.
You do not have choice because it is only choice is mass transit and New York Waterways.
Subways, Metro-North and NY Waterway is only option you have for best way.

Via Subway
Option 1:
From Penn Station, walk east to 6th Av-Broadway, which is subway station for 34th St-Herald Square.
Take Bronx-bound (B) local or (D) express to 161st St-Yankees Stadium. (B) only operates weekdays.

Option 2:
At 34th St-Penn Station (RED line).
Take uptown (1)(2)(3) to Times Square and transfer to (S) to Grand Central.
Then take Bronx-bound (4) train to 161st St-Yankees Stadium which is first elevated station.

Via Metro-North:
Instead of taking (4), train MTA Metro-North Railroad provide daily service to local station, Hudson Line with game day shuttle service runs between Grand Central and Yankees-E. 153rd St.
Fare costs $6.50 peak and $5.00 off-peak. On weekends, instead of buying off-peak ticket, please purchase CityTicket for $3.25.

Metro-North will bring you to game in 13 minutes.

Ferry option:
You could also exit Penn Station and walk north to 34th St along 7th or 8th Avs.
At Westbound M34/M16 bus stop, flag for ferry shuttle bus which is red, white, blue with destination FERRY.
Take NY Waterway ferry shuttle bus 34th St peak crosstown or off-peak 42nd-34th Sts loop to Pier 79/West 38th St Ferry Terminal.

From there, you could transfer to Yankee_s Clipper which also takes you across beautiful scenic Hudson River to Yankees Stadium pier.

My friend, the subway is the best way to go when going to a Yankee game, specially during rush. The reason I said this is because the cab fare from Penn Station to Yankee Stadium may cost you about $30, but if you get stuck in rush hour traffic heading for the Bronx, that meter will go up very fast.

Now, since you don_t want to take the subway to the game, you can always take the commuter train instead. You can take Metro-North_s Hudson Line from Grand Central to Yankee-East 153rd Street and walk to the Stadium. There is also a _Yankee Shuttle_ service that you can take from Grand Central to Yankee-East 153rd Street.

The one way off peak fare from GCT to Yankee Stadium is $5 ($10 round trip). If you_re traveling during the evening rush hour the one way peak fare is $6.50 ($13 round trip).

I hope this information is very helpful.

Good luck

You_re looking at $30 at the very least. Of course, if you_re traveling in rush-hour traffic, or game-day traffic, or both at the same time (frequently the case), it could run you well more than that. Your cab fare might cost more than your ticket.

The subway really is the way to go, it_s incredibly simple out of Penn Station. Just get on an uptown A or C train, and switch to the B or D (depends on time of day, just follow the massive pinstripe-clad crowd) at 59th Street. Get off at the Stadium. Boom, you_re there.

I really see no reason not to take the subway.

As for Metro-North, it_s a good idea in theory, but the Metro-North trains out of Penn Station don_t go to Yankee Stadium. The only MNRR trains out of Penn are the ones that go through New Jersey on their way to places like Suffern and Port Jervis. Wait until East Side Access in a few years, when the LIRR will go into Grand Central.

Once you get anywhere near the stadium, the traffic gets crazy because of all the people coming in from New Jersey (like me). If you_re going to Penn Station, I know you don_t want to take the subway but you can take the Metro North train from Penn Station to Yankee Stadium because they just opened a new stop there. It_s a little better than getting stuck on the 4, B, D.

But go Yankees :)

I have to agree with _Sonic_ but you should budget at least $40 for the trip just in case you hit traffic.

May be more if there is traffic.

edit: I checked the cost start point: Penn Station, End point E. 161st and River Avenue which is intersection of the Subway station for Yankee Stadium.

Don_t be such a snob, take the subway. It is faster and more interesting.
