I was thinking, imagine 90 years from now, a video about the 2020s with music from the 70s.

The nation will be EXTINCT 90 years from now as planned. Probably under nuclear Ash.

The music added doesn't match the period...There should be bebop or big band to accompany the period. 20s music with 1940s footage...hmmm.

TW F Actually the music was ragtime, more appropriate for 1900 than even 1920. However, some of the equipment shown certainly dates to about 1900!

Back when the subways were individually and privately owned by three companies.

YES!!! The Interborough Rapid Transit company called the IRT... The Independent Transit company called the IND and the Brooklyn Manhattan company called the BMT. The City and State took over ALL of the privately owned buses and subway lines. Staten Island has the SIR... Staten Island Railway.

That happened in 1940 in June by Mayor Fiorello La Guardia. I should know, I am a New Yorker! 😊

Original subway fare was actually a nickel or 5 cents and stayed that amount for 4 decades.

Excellent video of the subway back in the late 1940s to 1950s. A lot interesting history.

wow - some awesome scenes in this brief gem of a video

wow cool I still remember those trains and Yankees stadium look so cool in 1900s

When I was in school the fare was 0.15¢

I remember some of this. When I started taking the bus and train the fare was 0.15¢. Now the fare is $2.75.

Wow that’s quite a difference! You’ve seen a Lot haven’t you?!

This was the year they modified the Astoria Line for BMT-sized trains and reconfigured Queensboro Plaza. The R-10 and R-12 were brand new

Beautiful

Great footage the times of the most epic time in history. Subway ride 10cent. Wow how was the economy back then. I wonder history books outside the school system books.

I wasn't even a thought, boy how I would love to just pay 0.10 cents to ride the subway

Riders in the Sky was the top song of 1949, would have been a better choice than ragtime.

The answer to why it's playing ragtime it's because of the equipment used on IRT west side east side and flushing lines dating back to 1904-1917 but for BMT Broadway Sea Beach Nassau Street Jamaica 4th Avenue Culver West End & Brighton Lines 1915-1939 . IND 8th Ave Queens BLVD Grand Concourse and 6th Avenue Lines 1931-1940 this is due to the fact that 6th Avenue line opened in December 1940 during World War II in Europe before the United States joined a year later on December 7th 1941 Pearl Harbor Europe and the Mediterranean Siege of tobruk and Moscow.

Why is there a transit guy on the platform closing a train door by hand when there is a train conductor in the middle also closing doors ?

It was most likely how the cars were design back then, conductors then were in charge of passenger boarding, ofc more and more people were using the subway so cars were either modified to accommodate the new features while certain cars weren’t. I reckoned it was a transitional period and soon after all cars After a certain year came standard with the features.

To expedite the door closing process... Those cars were already antiquated...

Duke Ellington's A train would have been a closer fit.
