Need some directions from folks familiar with the subway. I will be on a tourist trip to NYC, once the passengers are dropped off from a bus in Times Square I will have a lot of free time, I am not the driver so I can go do my thing.
From the main tourist area of TSq I will need to go to Penn Station. I have looked over the MTA subway map and need some clarification. The map shows a red line, lines 1,2,3 and 9 passing through 34st/Times Square. Since map doesn't show how many blocks are represented is this the only choice or does the blue line, A,C and E and orange line B,D,F and V which shows on either side represent lines close to me? In other words do you need to look for the red line in particular (and yes I will confirm what line I am at before going down the steps) or is the red the only route in the main area of TSq? The red and blue both show Penn Station stops.
If you are in the main triangle formed by Times Square is the red line the closest or the one I remember going pretty much under the center of TSq??
It appears Penn is only one stop south. Is that better to walk or ride? What would walking time be?
If I latter need to go from TSq to GCT what is the best option? I see a purple line that appears to begin at 34th/TSq and go east to GCT and beyond. But there is also a black line with the letter S that also runs only between those two points. What is the S? The legend dosent' explain this one at all.
What is the current fare for these two moves?
