What to expect
The Roosevelt Island Tramway is an aerial tramway that connects Roosevelt Island to the Upper East Side of Manhattan. It is a popular mode of transportation, offering a unique view of the East River. The tramway has two stations, one on Roosevelt Island and one on Manhattan Island, and operates at regular intervals. The fare structure is the same as the city's bus and subway systems, and fares can be paid with either MetroCard or OMNY. The tramway is stroller and pet-friendly, with certain restrictions. It is a great way for families to travel between Roosevelt Island and Manhattan, with up to three children 44-inches tall and under riding for free when accompanied by a fare-paying adult
