Yea, I need to learn the subway better too. SB and I took it to go to catch the Ferry to Ellis Island, and because of Mary Cas' great instructions it wasn't a problem.
However, especially if I'm by myself, I always have the fear of missing my stop and getting off in an undesirable area. I hope to use it a couple times just to learn how. I know it's second nature to those who are use to it, but it's new to me. Plus there's no "worker" there to confirm you're getting off where you want to.
