How to Read a Subway Map

It's springtime, and Major League Baseball fans can again cheer for their favorite teams. It's an extra-special year for fans in New York City. Both the Yankees and the Mets are playing their final season in their old stadiums.

Many fans will be heading out for a last look at these historic ballparks. Getting there will not be a problem for the environmentally conscious. Both ballparks are reachable by subway.

Can you read a subway map? First, find the train line that has a stop at the ballpark you want to visit. Then check to see if you must take a local train or if all trains (local and express) stop at that ballpark.

The map shows local stops with a black dot. Express stops are marked with a white circle.

Study the map key, then see if you can find your way to the game!
