Editorial Review
A major transit hub for buses arriving from outside of New York City, this huge bus station is located in the heart of Manhattan, one block west of Times Square. How huge? On a typical weekday, approximately 7,200 buses and about 200,000 people use the bus terminal! The Port Authority Bus Terminal is virtually a city within the City offering a variety of amenities to travelers and the surrounding communities.
That said, please be cautious if you are visting for the first time. The area is full of people praying on naive people from out of town. It's probably best to leave the area quickly, and don't pay any attention to people offering help or assistance.
Note that easy direct underground passageways connect the terminal with the Times Square subway station.
