you can do it. i wouldn't advise it when it rains/snows or is super humid out (it can get like that and you feel your clothes sticking to you from the moment you step outside). a bus/subway is a nice option; it only costs $2 each way.

The base fare has been $2 for a while now and the discounted fare (30-day pass) is cheaper ride than it was in the 1980's. Plus, service and cleanliness is many times better than in the 1980's. So what are you complaining about?

service? i take the 6, E, V, and R. have you seen how bad it is with the R in terms of frequency? 6 trains have problems every other day with "sick passenger, signal problems, or congested tunnels"
cleaniness? go take the walkway tunnel from EV/6 train at the lexington ave stop. the smell can practically kill me. i avoid it now by switching trains at the R stop.
maybe it has improved. but is merely improving enough? if you were getting zeroes on all your exams, now you're getting 30s. that's an improvement but would you be satisfied?
i'm not nitpicking one or two thins but i'm showing you how bad it is with the condition on some of the stations. don't get me started in queens, everytime it rains, it also rains... underground!
my gf work for a contractor firm who works with the MTA, you won't believe how much money is blown on useless crap.
