The NYC subway is the fastest way to get between Brooklyn and Manhattan. Key lines: L (Williamsburg), F (DUMBO/Carroll Gardens), 2/3 (Park Slope/Brooklyn Heights), A/C (DUMBO via High St). MetroCards are retired — pay with a contactless bank card, phone/watch via Apple Pay or Google Pay, or pick up an OMNY card at station machines. The base fare is $3.00 per ride; a 7-day rolling fare cap of $35 applies automatically. The NYC Ferry is a scenic and practical way to reach Brooklyn Bridge Park (Piers 1 and 6), Red Hook, and Bay Ridge, and connects to Governors Island. The South Brooklyn route runs on weekdays; weekend routes differ slightly. Check ferry.nyc for the current schedule before you g
