Local tips

- Use the OMNY contactless system to pay for the subway with your phone or credit card, and always let passengers exit the train before you board.
- Expect to tip 18-22% at sit-down restaurants, as service workers rely on tips for their income, and double-check your bill to see if a service charge is already included.
- Avoid entering empty subway cars on an otherwise crowded train, as they usually lack air conditioning or have an unpleasant odor.
