NYC Subway: Rush Hour at Times Square Station
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 апр 2015
- Today's film explores the Times Square-42nd Street station in detail. Time of filming was during/just after the evening rush hour on a Friday (around 7 to 9pm).
Times Square-42nd Street station is served by eleven services (A,C,E,N,Q,R,S,1,2,3,7) on five subway lines. This film shows four of them: The IRT Seventh Avenue-Broadway Line, the IRT 42nd Avenue Shuttle, the BMT Broadway Line, and the IRT Flushing Line. The station is the busiest of the entire subway system. In 2013 it was used by over 64 million passengers.
I shot the entire film on an iPhone 6+ (using an external stereo mic). Using only light gear allowed me to film from right in the middle of things without being in the way too much.
Enjoy the atmosphere, the many trains, the people and also some musicians.
Filmed on 20 March, 2015.

Thanks
Luftschlange come see my channel!

Casey Penk why everyone so happy about New York I live in New York and it’s annoying
NYC Subway-one of my fav train systems! 😄
Jared Wang Your kidding right?
what if he is? it's pretty fascinating to me
Beautifully done. Reminds me of the good old days.
8:25 That dude got good Beats! HIRE THAT MAN!!!
**Guy makes a song for him to play along to construction announcements*
11:17 - best moment! I love how she sounds :)
Yes she is
It sounds like the class 465 in UK.
gingerbread man true
gingerbread man they got rid of brush. What's your favourite class.
My top 3 are class 321 class 319 and 317.
gingerbread man cool, 315 is also quite nice. I used to hate it but when I looked at the 345, the 315 seemed like first class luxury travel.
Thanks for taking the time to film that! I found it helpful in preparing for our upcoming visit to NY.
the sound of the motor is so cool hahaha
Thanks. I use to take the 6th and 8th Avenue IND Express from Jamaica,,Queens to work in Manhattan and back everyday when I lived in New York.
Cool. NYC's subway looks and sounds like a nice place to see different things.
Except don't go on late nights lol
+Gino Florencia lol I rode the subway last week at 3:30am the 6 train to be exact from 33nd to 49th on manhattan
51st rather
+Michael Lolwut I rode every train between midnight-6 am lol like one time I took the 2 and 3 times square at 4:00 am
definitely is
Thank You I miss NYC :)
That's not rush hour looks like. Did you wake up late
Same thing with 4 & 5 downtown trains, even in the summer. All sweaty and just being squeezed into the middle of the train... Very typical on a morning. Haven't experienced the rush hour during the regular work year, though (Such as October or January).

This is more like happy hour for tokyo metro 😅
There's So Much Chaos At That Station A lot Of People
Very entertaining! Thanks for this!
This city is really for people who dont mind many other people around them.
Run Keral I'm one of those people. I love crowds, actually. I hate being the only one in public places like Starbucks, Walgreens, Malls, etc. I really don't like being the only one on the bus...it feels pointless for some reason.
Man I miss NYC!
I've witnessed Penn Station on a Friday night! Yowza! Part of me completely loved it!
I do wish Kmart would surrender their store at Penn so nice stores can go in there! City Target for the win!!!
Nathan Bush You're weird. An empty bus is so fucking nice and convenient.
Nathan Bush I feel you!! Cities like New York, Paris or Tokyo definitely get me going!! I sometimes can get depressed when there is no one around
why would you talk to a random person on the bus? @@pepehimovic3135
That's rush hour?! Where is everybody?
Rush hour normally ends at 7PM.
Alex Jbf looks like a Sunday at rush hour
simon wang (4)(5) Is the busiest train in manhattan
This was probably at the end of rush hour. This subway station can get really busy during peak rush hour times.
Our subway is a bit more “spread out” so, our stations aren’t as packed as in some other countries. 491 stations. Not only that, taxi's, uber and our buses help transport people.
Gotta love subway performers... That guy on the bucket drum... not bad... :) Gotta love NYC. :)
I hate them, and most real NYers hate them too. That's never been a "New York thing".
i mean, i'm a native NYer and i enjoy them sometimes.
This cannot be rush hour. Nobody's rushing!
mmm I think he means rush hours as the trains rushing to other stations :) sorry if i sound mean :l
I saw a completely empty subway car XD. I wonder who peed/shit/died in there
When the doors to that car open and you just get hit by a wave of stank
Pee nobody really cares about. It's when somebody shits on the seat that people clear out. But desperate time call for desperate measures. Like at school when some dick took a dump in all the urinals.
wait wat
poo in loo
Thomas Harbauer at my school someone took a dump in the sink
z e n z e n y o k u n a i vomit
i added this on my playlist dude!
I just watched some footage of the same exact station filmed in 1986. What I can tell you from the visual differences is that America, New York in particular, is color void. Meaning that the color in our apparel has all but vanished. About 85-90% of those filmed are wearing black. It's highly prevalent in the city's culture. The '86 footage had the full color spectrum in it. People were wearing mostly every color EXCEPT BLACK.. Now, it's all you see. Sad that we are either trying to be nondescript or we have generally just lost our individual identities?!?
You're right! Also, cars of yesteryear had colors, green, yellow, orange, blue, red. Now only white, black, grey, beige and some reds or blues. We are being washed out of the pleasure to enjoy vivid colors.
Sound of the train is music by its self
Man I miss NYC!
I've witnessed Penn Station on a Friday night! Yowza! Part of me completely loved it!
I do wish Kmart would surrender their store at Penn so nice stores can go in there! City Target for the win!!!
"please step aside and let customers off"
do they really gotta remind people that people getting off have the right of way?
They mean you should let passengers off the train first before you get on the train.
i know what they mean but it's a shame they have to
Michael Lolwut
THIS IS NY
Michael keating This is Times Square a Tourist trap
So mostly tourist are here and people who are unfamiliar with the Subway and how we do things
Michael keating Because some people act like arrogant idiots
Like tourists
The “rush hour” is so much better than here in Jakarta. 😂
The reason why your one is worse is because you have no public transportation and you just have to drive everywhere!
Lord Revan We do have many public transportations, it’s just the population is too high
Oh that explains it
What's in the video isn't rush-hour...not even close.
I give praise to the electricians ~~~~
I LOVE THIS STATION!!!!!!!!!
11:01 Note: This video was taken 6 months before the 7 Subway Extension opened.
That busy rush hour really is nothing compared to the pick hour in the Mexico City's metro.
Lewis DSD Usually it's much more crowded.
Lewis DSD U Made The right Video Leiws
How many of you guys are watching this video and for a few seconds you can smell the subway..just weird😕
Wow... !!! My best friend, Great... We liked and enjoyed to the end. Thanks Have a happy day! Keep it up! +thumb up3!
Since you seem to film something as particular as this in terms of location & time in the NYC Subway, I suggest you try filming the uptown platform on the B/D line at 145th Street between 6:40 PM & 7:30 PM during PM Rush Hours. Worst time to attempt to go from the Central Park West corridor to the Grand Concourse corridor.
Also, perfect proof that they really need to extend the duration of Bronx-bound B service during PM rush hours. As it stands, it ends too early...
Nice video my friend, you got yourself a new subscriber ;)
Moscow Metro at the morning... THAT"S a rush hour.
I wish we had such calm rush hours in London
NYC is a lot busier than London could dream to be. This isn’t rush hour.
@@suhana8516 that was the point of my comment
The immortality of the subway: going nowhere forever.
I like those chimes at the start of this video.
did you use like a camera stand to make it move like that and steady 7:51
I WAS AT THAT STATION YESTERDAY
Is it me or this channel does not have new videos anymore 😭
Great job 👍👍👍
wait, that's rush hour!!! visit the London Underground and then just try telling me that's rush hour. for London, that's when its quiet.
+Mashdash we have trains coming every 80 seconds during rush hour and its still full
Ethano williamo This isn't really rush hour
This NYC rush hour looks São Paulo metro in the midnight lol
What's in the video isn't rush-hour...not even close.
bro this is not even rush hour for new york. The subways rush hour is probably more than the undergrounds rush hour lmao.
I so miss the grimy dark green hulky noisy R16s
AWESOME
PLEASE STAND AWAY FROM THE PLATFORM EDGE...
Weirdo kinda guy: I’ll be fine.
Me: LISTEN TO BERNE WAGONBLAST.
What does ird and irt and stuff like that mean? This question is to the maker of the video
how do you get to the bmt broadway line platform because they different platforms in the station?
Very nice. Greetings from Milan.
That's definitely rush hour! 👍🏼👍🏼
What's in the video isn't rush-hour...not even close.
Wow.that was a lot of people in the station in the subway and it was the rush hour time.haha
7:09 what happened?
10:44 what type of display is that?
I’m so confused, as a Brit our trains are simple we have the train name ( Northern Line , Victoria Line etc ) and it stops at every station until the last stop unless there’s branches and each have their own colour. Can someone pleas explain how ny subway works like what’s the point of the numbers and letters?
Also why do you not have names for some stations. In London we have names of every station but in ny you have it say “ 42nd Street “
@Siuz yeah why do you not have names tor the station it’s just numbers
@Siuz yeah that’s what I’m saying.. why do they name it after numbers rather than give it the name like we do in the UK
I can explain. There are 10 different colors used. The color of a route tells you which main line in Manhattan it belongs to. They are the following:
Red(1)(2)(3)-Broadway-7th Avenue
Green(4)(5)(6)-Lexington Avenue
Purple(7)-Flushing Line-42nd Street
Blue(A)(C)(E)-8th Avenue
Orange(B)(D)(F)(M)-6th Avenue
Lime Green(G)-Crosstown
Brown(J)(Z)-Nassau Street
Silver(L)-Canarsie Line-14th Street
Yellow(N)(Q)(R)(W)-Broadway
Grey(S)-Shuttle Lines
Each of the lines that have a certain color run on the corresponding line. For example the 4 is green so it runs on Lexington Avenue. The 5 is also Green so it also runs on Lexington. The 3 however is Red so instead of running on Lexington, it runs on 7th Avenue.
The idea is one line covers a certain 1 or 2 branches for the main line and another covers another 1 or 2 branches. Along with that, New York used a 4 track model to improve efficiency. If a line is local, it will usually run on the outside tracks an stop at every station. If it’s express, it will run usually in the middle track(s) and will only stop at the main stations on the route and skip the smaller ones, which improves efficiency and capacity on the line
Ordinary everyday people think they are going to get discovered so they start belting out lyrics with their instruments hoping someone notices them, wow.
No way rush hour. I was at that station every morning going to work and going home. It was hot as hell!! So many people never took showers. Always smelled
On the IND 8 Avenue line and BMT Broadway line
4:13 this song brings nostalgia
Very nice cinematography. I love the way the light coruscates off of the trains.
i love that 3 train at 1:10 it's so square! which kind is it?
R62 train
Why is there black shade on the r142
It took em' two decades, but they finally removed all the hideous graffiti scribbling from those subway cars inside and out.
JOKERS WILD they didnt remove them they just got new cars
Not only new cars (we got new cars in the 70s & 80s too and it never stopped the graffiti rats from defacing those new cars), but today's coating is anti-graffiti, plus they're protecting the train yards much better as well.
Offering stiffer fines and jail time doesn't hurt either.
Hyghg.
The sound at 11:17 is the same as the sound from a CityJet of the ÖBB
Nice video!
good video
11:18 Oh, I love that sound, it sounds nostalgic
gingerbread man R188
Those are Bombardier Mitrac
These trains sound so weird compared to the london underground
that station must be watched 24/7. biggest terror target
Airbrake on subway never heard that before
ehh not so bad but i really like this dude!
Do they still run on 80 # rail?
I paused Coming to America to see what the subway trains of New York look like today. Good thing the graffitis on the trains are all gone now. I live in Japan and the subway trains here, even in Tokyo are all beautiful and so organized, but I still want to try to ride a New York subway train someday. 😁
So why did they gave the new trains to the R and change the N and the Q back to old style?
i feel for my poor county..May God bless my life.Hope i will ride on those trains before i die.
can someone tell me why there are so many usa flags on the outside train? i think we all this is American train.
Jack Xie every single car has it idk why
Jack Xie now that you say that that flag was something I always took for granted lol
They put it on the cars after 9/11
I wonder how many movies were filmed on this train
The announcements make us know who the subway is. But the music blocks that ugh, the announcements are a good little part of the video. Also, at 7:22 that screeching sound just sounds beautiful and makes me sleepy. Also why don't you upload videos?
I wish I could be in NY to ride those ☺️
i love this video so much
oh, why so?
Ben Goldking because i love the nyc subway its the best transportation in the world
yes nyc subway its good sometimes there's delays but its still good
sorry i didn't answer your message i had no Internet connection but i didn't see the video before
Rush hours look like!
Tokyo sometimes have limited express trains board.
What's the purpose of rush hours
It's awsome
Great video! Even more fun to watch at double speed. This system depends on many people being able to ascend many flights of stairs, with a few exceptions.
Where's that train going?
Don’t say anything mean, but what are rush hours?
Nice place
Why do people step on the yellow security line?
Wow how many people on going on the train today
This is the rush in the last 1 30 am train in Mumbai.
Yep. Normally in non COVID times, the Subway is at capacity during rush hour roughly 17:00-19:00(5pm to 7pm)
In 2016 When I Went To Times Sq It Said T Train --> There's No T Train.The Extension is not done.
That is not possible unless the it went public..
Its got to be a mad house at that place during that time. Earlier it was probably even worse. Can't imagine.
I can’t believe I’m saying this, but Yonge-Dundas in Toronto is 100x busier than this
US subways needs to be upgraded. Trains are old and is lagging behind sophistication, modernity and competitiveness.
Yeah. New York has been trying to tell politicians that for 25 years
Nice vid :)
Thanks!
wow nice job i like your videos luftchlange
Crowded Man!
Es gibt sogar in der New Yorker U-Bahn freies WLAN 07:05 ?! Deutschland muss in der Hinsicht echt besser werden, und wie immer schönes Video. Machst du das eigentlich mit Stativ?
I hope you don't mind an English reply. Yes, some of the stations in Manhattan and Queens have free WiFi (and also cell phone service). I think in Germany it's more difficult to provide free WiFi service because of legal reasons (the provider is made responsible for illegal activities of the users).
I don't use a tripod, but when I film with my DSLR camera, I prefer to use a monopod with a fluid video head (when permitting). This allows for the smooth panning you can for example see in the 125th street video. However, I shot this film solely on an iPhone 6+, which has really great in-lens image stabilization, so you would just need some calm hands. :-)
the space looks so narrow
The D.C Subway Has a simple Map You Can Easily Read
New York tried a similar map in the ‘70s or ‘80s but it didn’t take. Not enough detail on the above ground geography.
Rear car on 3 looked nice empty lol
Bro I’m watching this in quarantine I miss the tRAINS LMFOAIA
