Subway Transit Ride

[AusTrainSpotter1]

nice R-40 slant. i wish i was in nyc

[djmidway]

Hey thanks, I am really glad that so many people have viewed the video and enjoyed it. Yeah I rode on those trains for many years, but they don't use them as much now that the trains have been switched to the new kind.

Great video! I liked the D train on the West End line, the N train on the Sea Beach Line, and the 7 train on the Flushing Line!!

[djmidway]

Thanks, still ride the D everyday or W train;). Haven't been down that route of the N train for awhile now.

GREAT VIDEO

[djmidway]

Thanks

I like the older subways. How long did it take you to make this video?

[djmidway]

Thanks. Well I didn't make this all at once. I filled parts of the trains rides in section as I commuted around the city. That is why it is snowing on some lines and others its cloudy or sunny. But the I think I spent 2 or 3 days editing the footage which was shot in 16 second bursts. I got the music to sync up in like 20 minutes, I think.

very nice video i favorited it,and i like it because it showed the old (9) line,the R40 slant on the (N) and very soothing music.love the video

[djmidway]

Hey thanks, I am glad to see new people coming by and viewing. The trains are an interesting ride. I might have to try to make something new, just have to think of a good goal or reason to shoot. Thanks again, its very good to hear.

[megatop412]

Thanks- this is still one of my favorite youtube vids. I like to watch it while having a cup of coffee.

[djmidway]

Thank you for saying that. It is really encouraging to hear.

[RichardHartl]

Thanks bud, can't wait to see America. Stopping off in Stroudsburg, Pennsylvannia and staying at a hotel in New Jersey, just near the city. Then staying in Shenectady, NY before I head home to the Great White North. About New Jersey... New Yorkers make fun of them alot. What's New Jersey like?

[djmidway]

NJ is ok, but don't see much of it, becuase usually I am just passing through it on my way to Michigan. I did go to the Newport mall, but not much different then other malls, still nice though. PATH trains run into the city by the way.

[RichardHartl]

Yeah, actually I was really confused at first cause PATH is also a huge 26km (sorry for the metric) shopping complex that weaves under downtown Toronto. PATH is all caps for some reason but just implies underground paths. The NJ/NY one is an acronym which cleared things up

[RichardHartl]

I'm reading the MTA website alot,I always liked trains and transportation in general.Even thinking of being a coach or inter-city driver.Get to see the best of Canada and U.S. I've never left Ontario except for Buffalo,NY and the Atlantic provinces when I was only six months old.I Want to see Montreal and Vacouver some time as well as the Rockies.Also like to see California and Florida in the US.btw Would a Canadian debit card works with a debit terminal in New York, or do I just exchange cash?

[djmidway]

Not sure, but if it backed by Visa or Mastercard, I would imagine it would work. Best bet is to call your bank or card company. There are banks in Manhattan that do, do currency exchange.

[RichardHartl]

(Part2) Canadian dollar is about 94 cents American so thats good. MTA map is nuts, seriously, but seems more efficient than Toronto's four subway lines... can't wait. Can anyone tell me if New Yorkers are really ignorant and rude, or is that exaggerated? Prob like how everyone thinks I would drink maple syrup, love hockey, or that Toronto is clean... none of which are true.

[djmidway]

Hi, I am originally from Michigan, so yes the subways seem tough at first. New Yorkers ..... can't asnwer that one;)...no just kidding. Most New Yorkers are nice on the train eventhough it gets a bit crowded during rush hour. Two things that might help riding the subway. Buy an unlimited Metrocard ,which can be purchased with a credit card, so you can get on or off as much as you want. Also all subway stations have train and bus maps at the Token booth.

[RichardHartl]

I'm going to New York City this September. I live near Toronto, so that's as much big city experience as I've had. Toronto is 2,500,000 people and that seems crazy enough, curious to see a city of 8,000,000.

[spermbank1]

Going across the Manhatten bridge and looking dwontown towards the brooklyn bridge, that view is one of the best views in N.Y city imo.

I loved that journey so much.

Thanks

Cant wait to be back in NY!

[stevefromPA]

Bravo..one of the best essence of NY videos ive seen. Music and cenamitography are a perfect match.

[moman1208]

great video of sweet new york! i like the clip of the 9 train at the beginning. also for the seven train, long live the redbirds

[Krisricky627]

love this! 10 and a half stars!

[nanba25]

Very elaborate video, lots of different speeds, angles, lights, soundtrack. Maybe the end of the clip is strange (seems to start again after the word "end") Alain from Paris, France

[djmidway]

Always room for a sequal...just like Magneto at the end of X3

[lancejm]

i grew up in the bronx, and moved to florida...watching this makes me homesick

[Iridium242]

I hear ya, I grew up in NYC as well and now live in Nevada.. Makes you really miss the city.

[Sonic3000]

What's the name of the first song here, I'd love to get it on CD.

[djmidway]

The first song on the video is "Something on my Mind" by a Jazz band in Europe called Root Position. It on the "One for the Road" album, which is very difficult to get in the States. The only reason I have it is cuase I bought it from them when they played at the Flint Jazz Festival. Its definitly a recommended album:). If you find anything new by them let me know where you got it.

[ScottishMJfan]

wow nyc subway looks cool

[victric]

looks like a pbs 1930's theme

[emalaran]

:) Cool.... I also enjoyed your footage editting.

[burbank]

Excellent video. The music choice made it even more enjoyable! I hope you will produce another one of these!
