Roosevelt Island Tram Travel Guide

A travel guide for riding the Roosevelt Island Aerial Tramway and for visiting Roosevelt Island in New York City. Ride the Roosevelt Island Tram for a fun attraction in NYC that is cheap ($2.75) and slightly off the beaten path. When you ride the Roosevelt Island Tram you'll get great views of the East River, and when you are over on Roosevelt Island you'll have some of the best views of Manhattan. Great for all those selfies you want to take with the Manhattan skyline in the background!

I had some real bad gassers today, stunk up the car somethin awful. Wish I could've been on one of these trams! Lol!

Hey there! Great video ( and kudos on the whole channel it is awesome!).. a couple of questions:
a- Does the tram go both ways from Manhattan to Roosevelt Island and back?
b- If I already have a metro card do I pay the 2.75$, if so, where do I purchase the ticket?
c- Are there specific operating hours or does the tram work 24/7 like the subway?
Thanks a lot :)

So annoyed we forgot to do that while we were there.

Questions: 1) Trips with the tramway are included with the weekly metro ticket right? 2) To go back you just take the tramway once again right? at any time? so you can also stay there 30 min and then go right?

Can I use the 7 day unlimited Metrocard on this?

Cornwell? Dude, it is Cornell University (1:44).

Can you take the tram back from Roosevelt island or do you need to take a different method to get back to Manhattan

Thank goodness they did not get rid of this, cause we can avoid getting an F to Roosevelt Island. I was an A student and always dreaded any thoughts of an F. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
