∙ 13y agoIt depends on where on 42nd Street you're going to. You can take the Uptown A-C-E (the blue line), one stop, from 34th Street-Penn Station to 42nd Street-Port Authority Bus Terminal (at 8th Avenue).
You can take the Uptown 1-2-3, one stop, from 34th Street-Penn Station to 42nd Street-Times Square (at 7th Avenue).
And you can transfer at Times Square to the S shuttletrain (color grey) east across 42nd Street to Grand Central Station (between Park and Lexington Avenues).
Or, you can transfer at Times Square to the 7 train (the purple line) to 42nd Street-Bryant Park (at 5th Avenue, although you can exit at 6th Avenue) or 42nd Street-Grand Central.
But if you are going to 6th or 5th Avenues, then you might want to just get off the subway at Times Square and walk the rest of the way. It's only, like, 1/4 of a mile.
And if you are going to Park or Lexington Avenues (or further east than that) then you will probably want to take the shuttle, not the 7, since it will be only 1 stop on the shuttle and 2 stops on the 7 train.
