I think the subway is easy to use and the maps are easy to read, but that%26#39;s just me. The maps are certainly readily available -- they are distributed for free at every change booth in the system.

Don%26#39;t be worried about getting lost on the subway -- so you get lost; so what? You just get on the next train back; it isn%26#39;t as if there is a Transit Authority policy that ';those who take the wrong train must stay where they are and never, ever use the subway again!!!';

I do not know what you mean by landmarks being signposted. Do you mean are there signs in the streets pointing to landmarks? Yes, but they are not common. Do you mean are there such signs on the subway? There are even fewer there, and I would not look for them. Presumably, before you go to a landmark you know where it is you are heading first -- you find that the Empire State building is at 34th Street and Fifth Avenue, you see that the nearest train station is at 34th Street and Sixth Avenue, and you go there -- what is so hard about that?

When you see the listing for an attraction, or store, theater, or whatever, it%26#39;ll tell you the nearest subway station(s), or which bus to take.

There are neighborhood street maps posted at the entrance of most subway stations. Just a suggestion, but you get much better info when you ask another passenger if you need help. Unfortunately, the transit clerks can be a bit gruff.

(There aren%26#39;t any silly questions.)
