Purchase or ask for a marta map. When I moved to NYC a few years ago that really helped me. I just used the map and would actually walk and ride the buses and trains. You can also go online and get a map from the transportation website they have. It's called MARTA so just look it up!

How about the "Y". They have different things going on all the time, and I believe it's very inexpensive if not free. There are locations all over the US. I'm sure there are several in NYC. Good Luck!

If you want an answer to this question, I'd recommend three things:\n- Ask your question in English so people can understand it\n- Mention what city you're in. Many cities have MTAs\n- Call your MTA yourself.

I have a niece who recently moved to NYC.  She and her friends have found the housing in Brooklyn to be the most reasonably priced.  There's public transportation everywhere in the city.

Use Yahoo or Google maps.\n\nOr you can use a ruler to draw the major cross streets and business location.  Then note the map is not to scale.\n\nYou can also get a copy of the Thomas Map Guide.  Place a plain sheet of paper on top of the map which includes your business location.  Trace the major cross streets and mark your business location.

Practice is the only way. It is a skilled best learned by watching and during. The "tricks" all revolve around where to look and how to line things up. Go out and practice with someone that drives well like a parent or older friend.
