In Manhattan, the entrance to the system is at Tram Plaza, 60th Street and 2nd Avenue. The closest New York City Subway station is the complex at Lexington Avenue / 59th Street (N Q R trains) on the BMT Broadway Line and 59th Street (4 5 6 <6> trains) on the IRT Lexington Avenue Line. Lexington Avenue – 53rd Street (E M trains) on the IND Queens Boulevard Line and Lexington Avenue – 63rd Street (F train) on the IND 63rd Street Line are also nearby.
On Roosevelt Island, the "Red Bus" meets the tram and offers transportation around the island for 25 cents. During the tramway reconstruction, the Red Bus is extended to Queens Plaza and the Manhattan side of the Queensboro Bridge. The public Q102 bus also provides transportation on the island and to Queens and Manhattan. The Roosevelt Island (F train) subway station is located north of the tramway entrance.
