A helpful how-to for strap hangers.

"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.” ~ Muhammad Ali

This is good for tourists but for anyone who actually lives here should sign up for the easy pay metro card. It's basically an ezpass metro card. I never miss a train and never have to refill it because it does it automatically. It's wonderful.

If I'm coming for 5 days and planning on being out a lot, it seems a weekly at $30 is still the best way to go. That's $6 for JFK AirTrain ($5 + $1 new card fee) and $30 for unlimited rides during the trip. $36 total, right?

I mean, the article gives great advice for people who know exactly how many trips they'll be making but doesn't seem to help the average tourist traveling around during the day. Is there something I'm missing?
