I was just wondering how the subway works after the show is over. I heard usually the public transit system shuts down after 11pm and was curious if this was true even when there is an event at MSG that isnt over till midnightish. Any info would be appreciated, thanks!

    Subway runs 24/7. Just slower late at night. Just remember, NYC is the city that never sleeps.

    Guys you can take any number of subway trains from MSG. The 1,2,3,A,C, and E all run from underneath Penn. And the R and N aren't far from there either. They run ALL night.

    That is the truth. I can't wait to be there again. The subway is good, easy, and always there. For helpful subway info, you can go to hopstop.com - you can type in your starting and ending destination and it will tell you what line to take, if you're new to the area.

    It's NYC...they run all night...every night...all the time, unless there is a transit strike (for all my fellow New Yorkers who lived through that one...).

    You can take a cab...there is a flat fee which I think is $45 now. That doesn't include tolls and tip.

    One of the great things about NYC is awesome public transportation.

    From MSG take the 2/3 train uptown until you hit East Tremont avenue.

    From there, you can catch a free shuttle to any major NY airport.

    Listen its crowded, sure. But the access that public transportation provides is like no other place in the world.

    i'm not debating the accessibility. all i'm saying is it wears on you when you have to deal with it during the morning and evening rushes every single day. i don't think that any new yorker would argue with that.
