We're on a tight budget so every dollar counts. Also, thanks for your videos! We've legit planned our entire NY weekend around your advice. Looking forward to trying your $1 pizza places 😉

If you have money left on an expired Metrocard don't throw away the card, if the expiration date is less than 1 year old you can ask the clerk in the booth to transfer the fare to a new card. If the expiration date is more than one year old, ask the clerk for the pre-paid envelope and form to mail the card to MTA and they will send you a new card with the fare on it.

@@HereBeBarr John, there's so many rooms in between stations that I've seen open with old old equipment from the begining era of the subways. Also a lot of stations have walls built over old exits/entrances ( Central park west on the A & C line) Sometimes the maintainers will leave a door open and you can see old areas with old station booths and old advertisements. There's also a lot of closed unbuilt areas where there was supposed to be subway service planned.

When I lived in New York City in the 1980s, the 28th St. 456 train station was closed. We used to climb down on the track and walk up to the subway tunnel and explore the closed station. It was a little bit sketchy, but never had any problems. I also remember being at a local stations and walking to the next station which was an express train, it actually Saved time.

In case some don't know majority of the "subway scenes" that you'd see in TV or Movies were filmed in an unused subway station in Toronto, Canada in Downtown Toronto. Even a NYC subway scene would be filmed there. It's called Bay Lower Station. It was used however for only 6 months in 1966 & discontinued due to confusion when transferring to another subway route if I'm not mistaken. Now it's used for filming. So next time you see a "subway scene" on film, you'll know it's most likely in Toronto 😉

When I travel around Japan and Korea, I love taking the subway. Seeing all the stations, trains, and people. Hearing the announcements. Watching the views from outside the window. New York seems to be the only American city that has a subway system that can rival Asian metropolises. That is why I want to visit NYC someday.

I absolutely love visiting NYC. Your content has become a go to staple for me when I am there. Thank you. I actually enjoy the subway when I visit. So different from our way of life in middle America. Thanks for your content. The more about the nostalgia of the subway, the better. Would love to do the nostalgia rides you referenced.

Johns videos on the Subway saved me a fortune, I watched them made notes, printed of a copy of the E Line map, caught the Air Train to Jamacia, then got my metro card, loaded it with $11.00 of I went, followed the sign to the E train, I was in Manhattan 42nd street in quick time. Taxi was around $90 what a saving. I used the subway to do everything, one stop down town to 34 Penn street you aren’t the Edge, look back down the street you see Madison Square Garden stay to the left you hit MACYS, look across the street you are at the Empire State Building. Back on the Subway at 34 Penn to 5th Avenue 53rd your at St Patrick’s Cathederal. The key to the subway for me was is it up town or down town. Johns videos were my bible in New York, Thank you John.

Great advise and tips. My girlfriend and I visited and got 1 metro pass and loaded it with enough cash for a couple of round trips. It was less expensive the getting 2 unlimited passes. The NYC Subway system is very efficient and your tip about standing at the stripped bar and asking the conductor really helped. New York is a friendly place. Thanks for the good video.
@martyjewell5683
@martyjewell5683 5 лет назад
Very cute and interesting. I haven't lived in NYC for almost 30 years but did grow up in Brooklyn in the 1950's/60's. The old train you show used to be used on the F train (IND) line when I was young. Those funny looking handles between the cars were how the conductor opened/closed the train doors. He (no she's back then) stood on a little step, while stopped in the station and held each handle, one controlled doors in the front cars, the other the rear car doors. In the later 1960's these train cars were still used on the Culver Line Shuttle which ran from 9th ave (west end line of BMT) with platform one level below the B train and ran up to McDonald Ave or Ditmas where it connected to the F train, IF I recall correctly. Also these wicker seated trains had bare screw in incandescent bulbs. The threads were reverse of standard light bulbs to avoid theft. Subway tokens in the 1950's were about the size of a dime with little Y's cut in them and cost 15 cents. You mention sucking tokens out of blocked slots, we did similar things with pay phones. The coin slot was open on the bottom and we'd stuff wet tissue up the slot so coins wouldn't drop down. Every few days we'd pull the dried tissue out and sometimes get as much as 80 or 90 cents. That was a lotta dough to a 10 year old. FYI, BMT stood for Brooklyn Manhattan Transit, IND was Independent Subway System and the IRT was Interboro Rapid Transit. Nice video. Thanks for lettin' an old Brooklynite reminisce.

@Onix Navarro, didn't know that. I spent most all my time in Bush Terminal, Park Slope, Bay Ridge, Dyker Hgts, Bensonhurst and Coney. Never rode the C train. In the 50's some train cars had the conductors "control" panel in the middle of the car on the side wall. Those cars also had wicker seats, bare light bulbs, porcelain hand holds and ceiling fans without covers, very dangerous.
@martyjewell5683
@martyjewell5683 5 лет назад
@Onix Navarro, in the late 1950's we (the gang) used to go fishing in Prospect Park lake. A&S used to stock the lake every summer and have a fishing contest. Those exposed ceiling fans ate more than one fishing pole as I recall. But you're probably right, I don't remember ever reading in the Daily News, Mirror or Journal American of any tragedies from the ceiling fans.

Absolutely love your videos and this one especially. I LOVE the NYC subway system. I was there in September 18 and saw City Hall and buzzed like an 8 year old at Christmas. I had heard about, planned it out and when the doors closed at Brooklyn Bridge / City Hall the adrenaline went into over drive. I know you'd be unlucky to get told to get off but when the train moved and finally went through the station... What a buzz.

Im 64 and remember those nostalgia trains when they were in service mostly on the 8th and 6th ave lines. They as you said go back to the 1930s and were part of the Independent or IND lines which today are the A, B, C, D, E , and G lines. These lines were always owned by the city and are not as old as the other two divisions. The Brooklyn Manhattan Transit are the J, L , M, N , Q and R lines were privately owned as were the numbered lines which are the IRT or Interboro Rapid Transit which are the 1, 2, 3, 4 , 5, 6, 7 and 42nd street Shuttle. The IRT are the oldest since 1904 or 07 I believe. The lettered lines have wider and longer cars and cant operate along the numbered lines tunnel. But there is one station where a lettered and numbered line stop on the same platform. This is Queens Plaza where the number 7 train makes a connection with the N train and here youd be able to observe the diffrence in car sizes. Thanks for posting!

New viewer here from the UK - I'm a fan of railways in general, and transit systems in particular. I've visited NYC seven times over the years, although the last was in 2011, and the Subway was a lure for me as much as the city itself, which is fascinating to me: a unique destination! Whilst I did know most of these facts anyway, I'd just like to say you've presented them in an entertaining and likeable way, so I'll keep watching for more snippets... may you flourish, Sir!

Around 2000, there was even a symposium on the fate of the High Line! This beautiful city that I had the privilege of being born and raised in has always rewarded me for my curiosity. The ghosts of its pasts are scattered throughout the streets. You just gotta know where to look! If you get a chance, head down to the Myrtle Avenue Station on the J/Z line. At the southern end of the platform overhead is a remnant of the long-demolished Myrtle Ave El. Good luck...🇵🇷🇺🇸😎

Dude wtf. If you're gonna pay $27.25 PLEAAASE just buy a weekly metro card for $31 and you can use it all week
@HereBeBarr
@HereBeBarr 5 лет назад
What if you're a local who only uses the subway a few times a week (ex: me).. The money carries over, while the $31 is lost.. All depends on your situation, for some the monthly makes sense. Thanks for watching.

My favorite is the 34st R stop jungle sound makers. I remember sitting on my dad’s shoulders when I was a baby waving my hand in front of the sensors. I don’t think anyone really remembers what they are. Whenever I go back to make some music people look really confused.

There are several abandoned stations, aside from 91st Street. One in the open is the Broadway station on the Myrtle Avenue el. When you take a J, Z, or M train out towards Queens, notice the structure above the Myrtle Avenue station. That was the Broadway station on the el line that continued onward to downtown Brooklyn until 1969. Some of the structure remains for a block westward on Myrtle Avenue.

Also the lower level of Bergen Street. Also City Hall, Worth St, 18 Street, Jerome Ave. There are probably a few other whole stations or levels I'm forgetting.
