New York Subway Ride

[tpirman1982]

What's with those colored lights in the subway windows as the train drives past 'em? When I'm on the MBTA subways in Boston, I see fluorescent lights in the tunnel.

[Abprat1]

its annoying when people tourist make a big deal of the subway...

[Abasuto]

@Abprat1

That's because aside from San Fran, the public transit in every other city sucks. Actually getting to see a transit system that's good is one rare sight.

[newyorkcitynewyork19]

I'm riding the subway! 

[redyoshi1985]

There are really 2 places I really want to check out.. I have never been to California or New York. But the only big city I have ever been to is Denver. On the Highway on the way to Donna TX I passed through Houston, but I didn't get the chance to look around. I think New York would be Amazing.. but I am not sure where I would go or what I would do there. Same with California. I might go see that Golden Bridge.. Can't remember where that is, planning is key I guess...

[Pilot135R]

Hope ur not riding pelham 123...lol

[cmurphy31Iam]

I rode the subway in los angels and also the metro red and green line that ran above ground it was fun and i miss living their and riding them what i don't miss is the cost of living,

[halcaannen]

@cmurphy31Iam The Cost of living? If you aim at Hollywood, Malibu, and the like but not if you aim at east l.a. I live in L.A. and pay only $425.00 a month.

[strych90]

Ugh, I live in a small town. I was just in NYC and I already miss riding the subway. It is just amazing in NY-had the best time.

[katapultamza]

I simply love new york.

[gnaples]

yes - why cant everyone live in NYC- you only have to mkae 2000k per year to afford a 1 bedroom apartment. doesnt everyone make a quarter of a milliion dollars a year/ Why doesnt everyone make that- how unfair!

[busterhund]

The subway had to be one of the hightlights of our vacation..

[juicebox02]

Is the guy on the right wearing an Expos hat?

[mpower6531]

@juicebox02 he sure is !!

[nicistarful]

find ich Cool

[halcaannen]

Is oit true that in NY you are alone most of the time?

[FlyleafFan14]

Now imagine running over 54 teen girls.

(sorry, bad joke from a horror movie)

[moscowwatch]

Funny, i have got similar video for Moscow metro :)

[aprilkamps]

um? ok what was the point of this?... 2 watch doors for 3 minutes?...

[agentdark64]

@aprilkamps

To be in new york for 3 minutes. Exciting..

[Alesseck]

I didn't hear that "please,stay away from the closing doors" ... how could it happened?

[AzureSkyzz]

that's only on the newer trains.

[Anthony0044]

the stations seem to be very far from each other

[mapdark]

maybe this is an express train.

[PrimaryConsult]

It's the L between Bedford Ave and 1st Ave, I think. East river tunnel.

[mekkorr]

@Anthony0044 calm down mate.. calm down.

[sega31098]

I thought there was supposed to be a "Ding-Dong" alert before the doors close.

[dudestir127]

They don't have those on the oldest cars.

[AzureSkyzz]

only on the newer ones lol

[lightsabre1282000]

i mean san francisco BART! u know...one thing...is that hong kong's railway is the best comparing to the american subways, cause they polish the rails, so that it produces less noise, as if we're floating on the tracks...

[mapdark]

Communist country .. they put more money into public infrastructures.

[cosmicbullfight]

hong kong's not communist, they're just smart about transit. the tokyo metro is amazingly quiet too.

[DaFritzla]

the best sounds makes our berlin subway system ;)

this nice squeaking in the tight curves *g*

[lightsabre1282000]

hey folks does anyone hate the noise in the BART? i hate that!

[Sanyey]

"Pretend you are riding the subway - right now!"-- lol.. NY is on the other side of the world.. I cant imagine being there :DDD

[subwayman31]

The subway is not boring. It's the best train ride you'll ever take!

[Photomaton36]

It's a little boring lol^^

I will go to NY in february!!

I love this City!

[gprince21]

i remember riding the NY subway throgh manhattan at night all the time....the passengers on there always looked so tired, depressed, worn down and just pitiful really

[KenneWilleJ]

thats NY for ya

[applesduh]

Yup I'll say

[wickoox]

@gprince21 I think they look like that in every single city. You haven't seen Western Europe have you? ;)

[gprince21]

@wickoox been to Britain, thats it....the people sure didn't look this pitiful on the subway in Chicago

[mratliff2111]

@gprince21 That's probably how you would look driving in your crappy car if you just got off work shift at 11:00 p.m. jackass.

[gprince21]

@mratliff2111 HA...did i strike a nerve? I usually get off of work at night around that time, "jackass," and i sure as hell don't look as downtrodden as the ppl on a NY subway.....most of those ppl are like zombies

[MmBaybiieex]

i cant wait till next summer :-) im going to new york :-D

[jimitheguitarist]

brings back memories =]

[applesduh]

Yeah me too!

[G1Ravage]

Wow, this video is at least two or three years old. It's an R-42 subway car on the Manhattan-bound (L) train, passing through the 14th Street Tunnel and arriving into First Avenue.

[MXN3O5593]

who would want to live in a small town?? new york is amazing

[BigBoiJC]

hey..small town life isn't bad...i live in a small town and i love it!

[liggylos12]

yo man im from ny and im liven the life

[Spielbergsp]

@MXN3O5593 I'd rather live in a small towm. ;) NY is awesome but I can't possibly imagine living there.

[LechiStal]

what quarter of ny is it?

[waitEveryday]

Man I miss New York

[applesduh]

Me too. :(

[nesnman]

What a way to live. Thank god I live in a small town.

[linuxnaveia]

I dont live in NY but is true the NY subway is dirty e has rats?

i live in Sao Paulo and I live subway(less rush time lol)

[dmc081]

yes sum parts

[mastercode95]

I haven't seen any rats, but its nasty and its somewhat dangerous down there...depending where you stand...some idiots stand right on the edge!!!!

[KenneWilleJ]

one time a saw a rat in the subway with out a tail

[SonnyTBNYC]

some neighborhoods are dirty. some aren't.

new york city is a huge place. i think most outsiders who have never been only think of manhattan when they think of NYC. there's much more in nyc than that. like any place you have your dirty, unsafe places and your rich, clean places.

[pilotboy087]

what line and wh8at kind of train

[projectstartrek]

I live in Maryland just outside of DC. The subway here is really nice and clean, but I wish it served as large an area as New York's.

[DanTheMan702]

i've been there the metro cards have pandas on them and says welcome to Washington DC there is only 5 lines which are the Blue, Yellow, Orange, Red, and Green. II also remember the Red line goes to Shady grove

[hekma]

i luv the subway...and i luv NY .... but some of these trains are noisy, any idea when they are going to put those Maglev trains in ?

[TheFerruccio]

I love the noise. Maglev for NYC would cost in the hundreds of billions and would be extremely inefficient, since NYC subways don't travel anywhere near the speeds required to make maglev efficient. In fact, if they did, the acceleration alone would make everyone fall ;)

[trackseventeen]

Yeah, as soon as the MTA comes up with an extra 200Billion to play with.

[florajie]

i used to take L or B train last time when i m in brooklyn on the way to china town

[toyrocketastronaut]

Ah, my personal daily hell lovingly reproduced in the multimedia realm of YouTube. :D

[LillaH]

Hehe, funny. I actually wish it was my daily hell... I'm thinking of spending my last year of college as a trainee in NY, so I'm currently working on a social network.

[campsports]

hey i recognize the station...thats the L train

[IceManNYR]

FYI: The MTA now uses new swbway cars on some lines that have a recorded voice telling you what stop is coming and which lines you can transfer to. Much different then the older trains where you have the hard to hear conductor talking on the speaker.

[Edwiness]

wow amazing, it's not like other countries have had this for over a decade or anything.

[aeria51]

thx 4 the experience

[orrebloodstone]

That train sure looks uncomfortable.. no thanks, swedish subways > ny subs anytime ;)

[stickman36]

You are now on 49 & lexington

[chem100]

Can I actually say this? I miss the subway so much! I really do!!! It certainly beats driving -- anywhere. What a miracle the subway is.

[zapataoffshore]

I have to agree. Atlanta has trains, but they don't get close enough to anything to make them worthwhile. We need more intricate system. NYC subway is a trip to hell, but it does its job very well... When in NY I love it!

[annspade]

LOL! M'kay, I thought that was just funny! :)

[joejoejoe212]

Is this either a J, M, or Z train?

[Xproletariatx]

Damn man, thats it im fuckin moving back.

[CUUUUUUUUURTIS]

this brings back memories. lol, in some tunnels, it looks like there's fire on the wall. That's what I thought when I was 6.

[xhoex]

Wow.

List of things to do before I die:

43 - Ride on a NY subway - DONE!

:P

- HellOnEarth101

[Thi5i5MyUniqu3N4m3]

minus the smell I feel like I'm actually there!
