Drive times are OSRM’s on empty roads, the same best-case figure as the map’s suburban lens; game nights run far slower. The taxi figure is the TLC yellow-cab meter rate ($3.00 plus $3.50/mi plus $1.50 in surcharges, as of 2026-10) on that distance, the only published benchmark; rideshare prices aren’t published and surge after events. A taxi trip that starts, ends or passes through Manhattan below 96th Street adds $2.50, and $0.75 more below 60th Street; rush hour, overnight, tolls and tip are extra. OMNY caps subway and local bus fares at $35 for any 7 days.
