What subway to take from the George Washington Bridge Bus Terminal to 79th St and third Ave?

Answer 1

Okay, here's what I would do, to avoid having to go Downtown to 42nd Street and then back Uptown: take the Downtown Aexpress train (of the A-C-E, the blue line) 2 stops, from 175th Street to 145th Street. An entrance to the 175th Street Station is included inside the GWB Bus Station complex.

Transfer at 145th Street to the Uptown D train (of the B-D-F-M, the orange line), UNLESS you're traveling between 4 and 6:45 PM, in which case you have to take the B train instead. Take the Uptown D or B 2 stops to 161st Street-Yankee Stadium in the Bronx.

Transfer at 161st Street-Yankee Stadium to the Downtown 4express train (of the 4-5-6, the dark green line). Take the Downtown 4 train, 3 or 4 stops, to 86th Street (at Lexington Avenue) in Manhattan (it's 3 or 4 stops because the Downtown 4 train skips the 138th Street stop between 7 and 9 AM). Lexington is the next avenue west of 3rd.

The second-best option is to take the Downtown A to 42nd Street-Port Authority Bus Terminal, walk through the tunnel that connects this station to the 42nd Street-Times Square Station, get the S shuttle train from 42nd Street-Times Square to 42nd Street-Grand Central Station, and then get the Uptown 6local train from Grand Central to 77th Street (at Lexington Avenue).

This would probably take about twice as long as the first option, since you have to go all the way down to 42nd Street, walk through the passageway connecting the two stations, shuttle your way over to the East Side, and then go back up to 77th Street.
