1) Purchase a monthly unlimited metrocard (you can purchase this at a kiosk in most subways using a credit card). 30-Day Unlimited Ride MetroCard costs $127. 2) You will use this card to swipe into the subway - but you do not need it to exit the subway. One swipe will take you anywhere you want to go. 3) You can download a NYC Subway map called: New York Subway MTA Map
