Many students and their families choose to make use of MTA public transport to get around the city efficiently. The MTA does not offer student discounts. NJ TRANSIT offers students who are Enrolled-Full-Time (as verified through Albert under the Academic Load field) a 25% discount for bus, rail, or light rail monthly passes. This is an auto-subscription program, each month you will get a new pass unless you cancel or suspend your account. There is a $3 processing fee each month for the program.

Bike Share is another transportation option, ideal for those students living in NYU dorms. Using their university ID, students can check out any available bike for the day, and return it to any bike share location by 10pm (bike issued on a first-come, first-served basis). Palladium dormitory has a bike share location in-building, and there are several on-campus locations where students can store the bikes during the day.
