You always go above and beyond to create informative public transportation videos to help your viewers! 🏆 Good to know about the contactless payment method for the fares, and taking the subway is much more economical compared to Uber/Lyft or taxi. 👍 Keep up the good work, and YOU ARE THE BEST! 😎 Thank you for sharing this video, AK! 🤗
I like these a lot especially because these transportation videos are quite useful for the future visit in New York😎Thank you for sharing this informative and quite educational video A K🙂👍!!!
Don't visit NYC since 2018. It's quite expensive to get a flight from Brazil to your city. Thank you for making these videos, cause you bring me back while walking on the streets like you do. I also remember the places I've been.
This is so helpful and convenient not only for tourists, but also for locals as well. It's so kind of you to share with us. I love Chinatown.😊❤ Now, I know an easy and precise way yo get there, so thank you so much.🤗💕💜🎶🎵
Thank you. Because of your video, I got to kind of experience this when I would never be able to otherwise. I've always wondered what it would be like. I've never been on one and never will.
This is a very interesting and informative video. Many thanks! I've never taken the subway in New York, but I used to take it all the time in Boston. Whenever you give the price of taking the subway, I feel positively ancient! I remember when the Boston subway was 15 cents and being quite shocked when it was raised to 20!
I used to ride on subways a lot Actionkid and it's enjoyable, chilling, and relaxing! Thanks for the share, keep up the excellent work, and you're excellent my NYC friend ActionKid!🤩🤗🥰☺😊😎
Hello and good night, everyone. AK, thank you for this vlog, I do love your nyc vlogs the most. They are always very interesting and you always find a new idea to share with us.
Nice video, AK. A few comments: 1) Your smartphone (both Android & iOS) can be configured in the wallet to designate a particular payment method for transit; then the phone does not need to be unlocked in order to work at the turnstile 2) Discounts for seniors, students, & the disabled are still available through OMNY, but just like the Metrocard need to be prearranged in advanced with OMNY. 3)People who complain about the dirt, the rats, or the crime in the subway don't consider the context-- namely, that 4 million people are using the system EVERY DAY. Personally, I think they do a great job overall and it's the biggest bargain in mass transit.... and at a single price no matter how far you're traveling in it.
As an person that lives in Kyiv, NYC Metro( for you guys Subway) its really dirty but alot bigger and more complicated then Kyiv Metro, Im Planning on visiting NY One Day!
Hi. As a Native New Yorker who lived there for 51 years, I can offer some tips that have served me well & hopefully will ease your concerns: -I always feel safe 6 am to 8 pm & in busy areas (like Midtown Manhattan & Downtown Brooklyn). -Space is a huge deal for many New Yorkers. Be courteous in sharing space on crowded trains. Keep bags/personal items as close to you as possible. -Use common sense; be aware of your surroundings. In the rare event you get bad vibes about a situation, stay calm/relaxed, but move (subtlely) away as far as possible. Or change subway cars if necessary. -As an unwritten rule, subway riders are quiet, keep to themselves & avoid eye contact. But if you need to ask someone a question, most come out of their shell, are friendly, and enjoy showing off their knowledge of the city 😂 (don't be alarmed if they are initially startled 😂). Have a great trip!
Awesome video AK! To me, New York City transportation is the only reliable means of transportation in the world 😊 I moved out of NY years ago but have visited. I tell people buses or trains tag along one right after the other 😅
B, D,F & M trains Do no go through Times Square in addition to the 4, 5 & 6. Connection to A, C & E trains a bit of a walk. If you need to get to the 4, 5 & 6 trans catch the S (Shuttle) which leaves every few minutes for a short ride.
You'll get a credit as my 2nd unit on location camera guy, one of 5, they mystery guy with the signature ring M heading back and forth between Times Square and else wearing his Microsoft POV shades in 2084 (Retro Post Pandemics future - bankrupt world). He'll pop up the stairs in my chromakey Times Square station exit with aerial 3 angle stage set. Awesome dude! if the movie ever get's released (unlikely) the CORPORATION will pick up your fee.
I'm trying to get an overall picture of how the underground works , the London underground goes by line name and then you just need to know I u want to go N S E OR W and where to change for lines crossing. Can u sum up this for the NY subway thanks
I really want to visit NYC although I'm not into crowded places. I'll be sure to watch your informative videos though if I do. N Trust me if I bump into you I will ensure I make an appearance on your channel 😂 I'm from Manchester UK x
This subway is one of the oldest in the world and were build long time ago way ahead from other country esp in Asia and europe.... no wonder its looks old style... all the world follow and copy this subway and apply it to the their city and upgrade the style and system... but compare to London underground i will like London underground more interm of clean and style....
@@davidwatkins8478 the nyc subway is operating 24/7 all year long, while the London underground closes from midnight to 5am every night unfair comparison, let the underground operate 24/7 and let's see how clean it stays, brits wish they have a lot of American things too that's why they're on every comment section on RUclips comparing themselves 😂

Thanks!
Much appreciated!
The NYC subway might be dirty however it’s much better than it was back in the 70’s and 80’s when it was at its lowest ebb.
Very true!
Those were my years riding the subways:
The French Connection/Taxi Driver Seventies
Absolutely agree, that was my childhood in NYC, it was a different subway system for sure.

Much appreciated! The NYC Subway is very easy to use, and it isn't so intimidating once you know how it works
I really love it!😊
I LOVE those old subway trains!
I like these a lot especially because these transportation videos are quite useful for the future visit in New York😎Thank you for sharing this informative and quite educational video A K🙂👍!!!
My pleasure, I know this will be helpful for people

I used to love to walk it. What fun. I miss NYC.

You're welcome! Wow, those prices are really outdated and I can't imagine a time when a train ride used to cost that much!

Woah that scenary looks better than the morning/afternoon commute!
Nice video man really nice video!
Something New, Different and Interesting. Great Job ActionKid, I'll keep tuning in. Thanks for helping people who are outside the City. 🙂
Very informative and interesting. Thank you for making this video @ActionKid!
Much appreciated, thank you for watching!
@@ActionKid no worries! I enjoy watching you content, very peaceful.
Yay I got to the New York City transit and didn’t have to pay thanks Action kid 🤣🔥😄
That's amazing
Hello and good night, everyone.
AK, thank you for this vlog, I do love your nyc vlogs the most. They are always very interesting and you always find a new idea to share with us.
You're welcome, glad you found this video interesting!
I was in NYC in November 2023 what a great city can'twait to go back JR Glasgow Scotland.
Re London: “I didn’t see any rats on the train, just MICE.” 4:38 👀 lmaooo
I miss NYC Subway
Great Video - I'm visiting New York next year and have limited mobility, so this confirms that I won't be using a subway :)
That's good to know! Even though some NYC subway stations have elevators, they're not always convenient.
We're planning a trip to the city in a couple of weeks. Our subway skills are a little rusty. This is a great refresher. Thanks!
Perfect

Actionkid knew the whole NYC subway system at 5 years old.
6:29 she was staring you down lol
Much better than London, no joke. I❤NYC
Long wait for your train. 🥱
22:23 lol it feels like a jail it does actually look like one 😮
As an person that lives in Kyiv, NYC Metro( for you guys Subway) its really dirty but alot bigger and more complicated then Kyiv Metro,
Im Planning on visiting NY One Day!
The system is in need of upgrading. The car set you’re riding in is the oldest in the system r46 cars and the r68 used on the D line
Wow thar train is moving super fast
The lady in the white coat 😂 6:26
Oh yeah the platform edge is so close Shesh
How safe do you typically feel on NYC subway? I will be visiting in a couple of weeks with a couple of friends
Don't believe all the doom and gloom that the news and social media keeps dishing out. 99% you'll be safe if you keep your wits about you.

@@ceddycedchin Wow thank you for these tips! I am nervous but very excited!
@@Cain-x Yes I am hopeful we will be fine and have a lot of fun!
Awesome video AK!
To me, New York City transportation is the only reliable means of transportation in the world 😊 I moved out of NY years ago but have visited. I tell people buses or trains tag along one right after the other 😅
You're welcome! NYC's public transportation is really convenient and many people take it for granted.
💥💥I seen Andrew Dice Clay video of you Mr action kid.💥💥

I’m assuming when you say just tap your phone you must have the Omni app open first
The nitty gritty NYC is long gone
I rode the subway when it was called the RR train: the “Double R”
Very cool!!

Did you find the Tube in London more user friendly than the NYC Subway?
I'm trying to get an overall picture of how the underground works , the London underground goes by line name and then you just need to know I u want to go N S E OR W and where to change for lines crossing. Can u sum up this for the NY subway thanks

I'm from Manchester UK x
Good to know you're prepared
LOVE THIS EARLY MORNING WALK ON CANAL
You sat on the r46 n train just to tell you
Is there an app that gives directions for each station? I’m use to Washington DC metro and their smart trip app.
Yes, Transit
Dubai sub way train was very clean
No more subway tokens! (I still have a collection of old subway tokens of yore.)
Great ❤
Hi AK, I am planning to visit NYC next year, could you advise the best low season as well as weather to visit? Thanks
I use to want to live in New York so bad now I wouldn't dare just to much .
This subway is one of the oldest in the world and were build long time ago way ahead from other country esp in Asia and europe.... no wonder its looks old style... all the world follow and copy this subway and apply it to the their city and upgrade the style and system... but compare to London underground i will like London underground more interm of clean and style....
London.
And opened in 1863! Some forty years before New York.
London underground is much older. It's also cleaner and safer. Americans wish they had the underground!
@@davidwatkins8478 fr, i wish we had the london underground. ive visited london a few times, it was so much nicer...we need an upgrade
@@davidwatkins8478 the nyc subway is operating 24/7 all year long, while the London underground closes from midnight to 5am every night unfair comparison, let the underground operate 24/7 and let's see how clean it stays, brits wish they have a lot of American things too that's why they're on every comment section on RUclips comparing themselves 😂
I notice compared with the London tube they come into the platform so fast don't they
Thanks Neilkus!
Those trains look so old compared to London.
The R46 class was built from 1975 til 1978. It is currently the oldest class of subway trains in NYC. I remembered when they were new.
Someone ought to derat the entire NYC subway system, so that it’s more sanitary for
locals and tourists alike! A huge improvement is needed.
I’ve overslept as well on TfL, ended up in a siding . JH
R46 75 footer is soon to be gone but not forgotten.
Nice
Vladimir Putin? 20:05
Could get confusing for me
The subway didn't look very dirty on video
I’m Muslim and clean
There was one time these subways were the most dangerous place on god's green Earth.
Have you seen the red glowing tree, close to Hudson Yards?
Where are the musicians?
Why don't you do one in Philadelphia
New york subway have no security guards? 🤔
they have police, there were like 6 in the video
@@cruxiql that’s why should have subway security and not police
@@vitorribeiro6307 whats why? no reason was stated...
And… actually there really is no police on the platforms and stations
@@vitorribeiro6307 no, there is. whenever i take the subway i usually see 2-3 per station
They paved Times sq. what a travesty
I bet covid is circulating all over that train nobody has on a mask 😷
Such a scary and dull place 😶
