How do you get to the Bronx from Midtown?|115453

I am taking Amtrak that gets off at Penn Station, and I need to go from there to the Bronx (Throngs Neck/SUNY Maritime). Does anyone know how/the fastest way to get there? I don_t have a problem walking 10ish blocks to get to a subway stop, and was looking to take the subway and then a bus....Any tips? Thanks.

My friend, here how to get from Penn Station to SUNY Maritime College.

Step 1: take the uptown (northbound) #1, 2 or 3 subway lines (Red Line in the subway map) from Penn Station to Times Square.

Step 2: at Times Square, transfer upstairs to the 42nd Street Shuttle (Black Line). Take the Shuttle eastbound from Times Square to Grand Central.

Please note when boarding 42nd Street Shuttle at Times Square, there is a gap between the platform and the train, so watch your step.

Step 3: at Grand Central, follow the directional sign leading to you the # 4, 5, 6 and 7 subway lines (Green and Purple Line). Take the Bronx-bound (northbound) #4 or 5 express train from Grand Central to 125th Street.

Step 4: at 125th Street, transfer across the platform to the #6 local train (Green Line). Take the Bronx-bound #6 train from 125th Street to Westchester Square-East Tremont Avenue.

Step 5: at Westchester Square-East Tremont Avenue, transfer downstairs (the station is elevated in the Bronx) to the Bx40 bus. Take the eastbound bus from the subway station to SUNY Maritime College. The bus will leave you right at the front gates of the college.

The fare on the subway is $2 each way. The transfer between the subway and bus, and vice versa, is free. However, if you_re town in for week or two, you can purchase an unlimited ride MetroCard, which will give you unlimited rides on the city_s subway and bus system.

A 7-day pass will cost you $25, while the 14-day pass will cost you $47.

I hope this information is very helpful.

Good luck

I_m sorry, not only was that too much information, it was wrong, added extra steps, and was not consistent with what the trip planner would have told you if you_d used it yourself.

Must agree here. The 2 to the Bx40 works a bit better.

hopstop.com has become a great way to answer this kind of question; I didn_t use it much when it started, but it_s become a fully-featured, well-developed site since then.

Throgs Neck/SUNY Maritime is what you_re looking for.

To get there:
Uptown 2 train, at Penn Station. Get off at E Tremont Ave/W Farms Sq. Then, take a Fort Schuyler-bound Bx40 bus. Get off at the Fort Schuyler entrance, the end.

Fare - $2, pay by MetroCard. The transfer from the 2 to the Bx40 is free, encoded on the MetroCard. Almost no walking required at all.

Try that. And it_s Throggs Neck. Enter starting point and destination and this thing should help you out.

Oh, and while the D does go to the Bronx, it goes no where near Throggs Neck.

take the D train it runs from the bronx to Brooklyn

Walk, you_ll save money
