minus-squareBobby Bandwidth@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up27·1 year agoIt’s one of the densest, most populated 2.9 miles in the world. The route takes you through the core of manhattan/nyc.
minus-squarePhyrin@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·1 year agoThank you! That’s what I was missing!

It’s like $30, but could double during rush hour or any popular time of day. So yeah, $50 whenever you want to go. $30 in the middle of the night.
