Here are a couple of websearches:

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&as_q=public+transportation+in+New+York+city&as_epq=&as_oq=&as_eq=&num=10&lr=&as_filetype=&ft=i&as_sitesearch=&as_qdr=all&as_rights=&as_occt=any&cr=&as_nlo=&as_nhi=&safe=images

If you don't find useful websites in here, then re-search, using different search terms.

If you need help learning how to search, including how to choose good search terms, go here and scroll down to the links under HOW TO SEARCH THE INTERNET:
