Transportation

Town families travel from as close as the apartment building next door and as far as New Jersey. 

We’re committed to helping families find the most convenient commute possible. To make mornings and afternoons easier, we offer flexible drop-off starting at 7:30am and afterschool care until 6:00pm.

Bus

We’ve expanded our roundtrip bus service, making Town even more accessible for families across the city. Bus service is included in the cost of tuition, a rare benefit among our peer schools. Our bus service includes routes from Brooklyn (Downtown Brooklyn), Lower Manhattan (Tribeca), Midtown, and both the East and West Sides from 125th Street south (on two separate routes).

Public Transportation: Bus or Subway

Students are eligible for a free full-fare MetroCard, as long as you live a 1/2 mile or more away from school. All MetroCards are provided via a Department of Education program, which allows for school-day travel from 5:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. Town takes care of the application process for all families and distributes the cards to students when school begins in September.

Carpool

We are always happy to help connect families with nearby neighbors to explore carpooling options, making drop-off and pick-up easier—and often building new friendships along the way.

NYC Ferry

Town is located right on the East River, and our closest Ferry stop is East 90th Street. See the map and schedules to explore this easy and scenic commute option. 

And there are plenty of other options...

Many families arrive by yellow cab, ride service, or private car, with our cul-de-sac location making for an easy drop-off. Others walk or scoot—our front scooter docks are often full—and several faculty and staff bike in from across the city. While bike storage is limited, we’re always happy to explore options for families interested in cycling to school.
