I LOVE those old subway trains!

The NYC subway might be dirty however it’s much better than it was back in the 70’s and 80’s when it was at its lowest ebb.

Absolutely agree, that was my childhood in NYC, it was a different subway system for sure.

You always go above and beyond to create informative public transportation videos to help your viewers! 🏆 Good to know about the contactless payment method for the fares, and taking the subway is much more economical compared to Uber/Lyft or taxi. 👍 Keep up the good work, and YOU ARE THE BEST! 😎 Thank you for sharing this video, AK! 🤗

As an person that lives in Kyiv, NYC Metro( for you guys Subway) its really dirty but alot bigger and more complicated then Kyiv Metro, Im Planning on visiting NY One Day!

This is so helpful and convenient not only for tourists, but also for locals as well. It's so kind of you to share with us. I love Chinatown.😊❤ Now, I know an easy and precise way yo get there, so thank you so much.🤗💕💜🎶🎵

Don't visit NYC since 2018. It's quite expensive to get a flight from Brazil to your city. Thank you for making these videos, cause you bring me back while walking on the streets like you do. I also remember the places I've been.

This is a very interesting and informative video. Many thanks! I've never taken the subway in New York, but I used to take it all the time in Boston. Whenever you give the price of taking the subway, I feel positively ancient! I remember when the Boston subway was 15 cents and being quite shocked when it was raised to 20!

We're planning a trip to the city in a couple of weeks. Our subway skills are a little rusty. This is a great refresher. Thanks!

Re London: “I didn’t see any rats on the train, just MICE.” 4:38 👀 lmaooo

The system is in need of upgrading. The car set you’re riding in is the oldest in the system r46 cars and the r68 used on the D line

Nice video, AK. A few comments: 1) Your smartphone (both Android & iOS) can be configured in the wallet to designate a particular payment method for transit; then the phone does not need to be unlocked in order to work at the turnstile 2) Discounts for seniors, students, & the disabled are still available through OMNY, but just like the Metrocard need to be prearranged in advanced with OMNY. 3)People who complain about the dirt, the rats, or the crime in the subway don't consider the context-- namely, that 4 million people are using the system EVERY DAY. Personally, I think they do a great job overall and it's the biggest bargain in mass transit.... and at a single price no matter how far you're traveling in it.

Wow thar train is moving super fast

I rode the subway when it was called the RR train: the “Double R”

Awesome video AK! To me, New York City transportation is the only reliable means of transportation in the world 😊 I moved out of NY years ago but have visited. I tell people buses or trains tag along one right after the other 😅

Hi. As a Native New Yorker who lived there for 51 years, I can offer some tips that have served me well & hopefully will ease your concerns: -I always feel safe 6 am to 8 pm & in busy areas (like Midtown Manhattan & Downtown Brooklyn). -Space is a huge deal for many New Yorkers. Be courteous in sharing space on crowded trains. Keep bags/personal items as close to you as possible. -Use common sense; be aware of your surroundings. In the rare event you get bad vibes about a situation, stay calm/relaxed, but move (subtlely) away as far as possible. Or change subway cars if necessary. -As an unwritten rule, subway riders are quiet, keep to themselves & avoid eye contact. But if you need to ask someone a question, most come out of their shell, are friendly, and enjoy showing off their knowledge of the city 😂 (don't be alarmed if they are initially startled 😂). Have a great trip!

B, D,F & M trains Do no go through Times Square in addition to the 4, 5 & 6. Connection to A, C & E trains a bit of a walk. If you need to get to the 4, 5 & 6 trans catch the S (Shuttle) which leaves every few minutes for a short ride.

You'll get a credit as my 2nd unit on location camera guy, one of 5, they mystery guy with the signature ring M heading back and forth between Times Square and else wearing his Microsoft POV shades in 2084 (Retro Post Pandemics future - bankrupt world). He'll pop up the stairs in my chromakey Times Square station exit with aerial 3 angle stage set. Awesome dude! if the movie ever get's released (unlikely) the CORPORATION will pick up your fee.

You sat on the r46 n train just to tell you

Dubai sub way train was very clean

I’m assuming when you say just tap your phone you must have the Omni app open first

Very cool!!

No more subway tokens! (I still have a collection of old subway tokens of yore.)

I really want to visit NYC although I'm not into crowded places. I'll be sure to watch your informative videos though if I do. N Trust me if I bump into you I will ensure I make an appearance on your channel 😂 I'm from Manchester UK x

Did you find the Tube in London more user friendly than the NYC Subway?

Those trains look so old compared to London.

The R46 class was built from 1975 til 1978. It is currently the oldest class of subway trains in NYC. I remembered when they were new.

I'm trying to get an overall picture of how the underground works , the London underground goes by line name and then you just need to know I u want to go N S E OR W and where to change for lines crossing. Can u sum up this for the NY subway thanks

I notice compared with the London tube they come into the platform so fast don't they

R46 75 footer is soon to be gone but not forgotten.

I’ve overslept as well on TfL, ended up in a siding . JH

Is there an app that gives directions for each station? I’m use to Washington DC metro and their smart trip app.

Someone ought to derat the entire NYC subway system, so that it’s more sanitary for locals and tourists alike! A huge improvement is needed.

Thanks Neilkus!

There was one time these subways were the most dangerous place on god's green Earth.

Where are the musicians?

They paved Times sq. what a travesty

Have you seen the red glowing tree, close to Hudson Yards?
