Brooklyn Commuting

Brooklyn is a great place to live if you don't want to own and drive a car. You and your roommates can enjoy a short train ride to Manhattan and the other boroughs. Brooklyn is blanketed by an extensive public transportation system, http://www.mta.nyc.ny.us/nyct/maps/submap.htm If you are concerned about roommate safety with regards to the subway system late at night, you can always catch a cab, or car service, for a few bucks. If you choose to have a car, parking is actually much easier than Manhattan, and there are several bridges connecting Brooklyn to the other boroughs.
