Stewart to NYC....easiest way?
With Skybus announcing flight service from Columbus to Stewart, NY I was wondering what the easiest method for getting into the city would be? I understand there is a metro north train that goes to Grand Central.....can you buy one of those 1 day subway passes to catch this train to Grand Central, or is that a completely seperate entity?

Not sure what your question is. The metro north is a train not a subway. You can buy a ticket on the train to Grand Central. You can buy subway passes in Grand Central when you get there. I hope I answered your question.)

There is no public transportation at Stewart. You would have to rent a car or take a taxi to Poughkeepsie or Cornwall to get on either Amtrak or Metro North.

From Stewart airport you can catch the shuttle bus run by Leprechaun Bus Lines for $1. It will take you to the Beacon Metro North Station where you can catch the train to Grand Central. You cannot use a metro card for the train...you need to buy a ticket which you can pay for with a metro card if there is a balance on it. www.leprechaunlines.com http://www.stewartintlairport.com/groundtrans.html

No. Metro-North is separate from the subway, and considerably more expensive. As of several years ago: Some Metro-North stations sell tickets. At the stations that have a person selling tickets, you can pay with cash or credit card. Some stations either do not sell tickets or have only a vending machine (which does not take checks). Tickets can also be purchased on the train. On the train, they take cash and checks (but might not take credit cards). If you board at a station that has a human ticket seller on duty, but do not buy a ticket before you board the train, you pay an extra charge for buying the ticket on the train instead of at the station. If you board at a station that does not sell tickets, this charge does not apply.

Get a cab and ask to go to the Short Line Bus terminal in Newburgh...not that far from Stewart. From there you can take a bus down (Short Line/Coach USA) to Port Authority (41st Street & 8th Avenue) in New York City. Fare is $18.75
