This is so helpful. We are visiting with children in August and I was freaking out about the subway. Thank you!
Great video. For how much hate the Subway gets it really is an amazing system. The fact that you can go from The Bronx to Coney Island for under 3$ is still very taken for granted by New Yorkers
Yes, many people do take it for granted! It runs better than people bash it for!
who wants to sit on the train for hours lmao
@@joeoge9347 who wants to sit in traffic for hours?
What a great video guide we will be staying in Times square this month this is a great help.
Thanks, this was great !
Very helpful❤
I grew up in the country, so the subway is a tourist destination in and of itself for me. I love riding the NYC subway. I've seen some of the craziest things I've ever seen down there. It's a world all its own.
For sure! The subway is totally an experience.
That Stand Clear Of The Closing Doors guy sounds like he's announcing a baseball game.
The now abandoned Canal St station was really spooky/scary at 1:00 am in 1973 when I was there and also the only guy on the the train was high on something.
You’re a master of this video I love your videos keep it up I hope you see you in the future
Great video, just got back from the city, wish I had seen this before😉 still enjoyed watching!
Perfect
I love your NYC videos ! Can you also do this kind of stuff in Berlin ?
Best Wishes

20:28 That's an interesting history about the hats and other details you've shared! That's a lot of information to absorb about the subway map and all the lines, but you're a pro explaining everything. Your public transportation videos are always thoughtful, detailed, and informative. 🏆 Keep up the good work, and thank you for sharing this video, AK! 🤗
Much appreciated, there's a lot of information about the subway but it's important to know!
These videos make me less afraid now to take the subway next time I visit NY.
Awesome!
It's actually pretty easy to ride the subway, just need to pay attention to pushers when the train comes.
going to new york soon, this will be helpfull!!! ❤
The ActionKid with an educational video today. Proper subway 🚇 techniques ! Very informative. 🐼
These transportation videos are so educational and informative 😎So i appreciate these , so helpful for anyone who pays attention to the advices and tips that you’re giving ! Thank you for sharing these golden tips and advices A K🙂👍!!!
You're welcome, I'm glad you found it useful!
This is a very useful video guide for people on how to ride the subway system in NYC.❤ Great and concise, with a thorough explanation.😊👍🏻
Much appreciated, glad you found it useful!
11:03 You mean the Port Authority Bus Terminal where it takes you to parts of New Jersey, Newark International Airport, Pennsylvania, Connecticut (CT), and parts of New York everywhere
Hola excelente video. Disculpe q tipo de Cámara. Usa. Ud.
Thanks so much for giving a very detailed instructions on how to traverse via the New York City 🚇 Subway to the Financial District from Times Square! I thoroughly enjoyed it. The oculus looks so futuristic like Bicentennial Man and Star Trek, and it's amazing you can walk through there from the Subway Station 🚉 itself. That was also a pleasant short walk outside after you left The Oculus, through Lower Manhattan. 🏙️ 😎
Thanks AK!
You're welcome, glad you enjoyed the subway ride and walk
This was more than helpful thank you! Very much appreciated AK cheers I❤NY
Thank you!
I love these videos it's so helpful! Thank you! Do you have a video already in your catalog that tells you how to read these Subway maps? Your explanation really made sense but I feel like if I was anywhere other than times square or one of the big areas with all the trains trying to get from upper Manhattan to lower Manhattan I would get lost. I've been to the city so many times but only have taken the subway just a few times because I am just so scared of doing something wrong. I know you can use Google maps now but even that the last time I was there in October I decided against just for my own insecurities. I feel like I really need to study with somebody to figure this out lol.
No, I don't have a video like that. I think the best thing to do is to study the map yourself. Google Maps is usually pretty reliable.
What an amazing video quality😳
I may never get to NYC but if I do, I will use this video as my guide to the subway. :)
That's great!
where are you from friend?
@@muscleman125 Washington state
great video ak. would you ever do an Amtrak video? when I visit ny in march I am planning on getting the Amtrak to Philly for a day trip to the university area and was wondering how the journey is.
Thanks! I have made Amtrak videos but not of NYC to Philly.
Oh gosh l'm used to using the colors when traveling. Confusing can be for some tourists. But in this videos you explained quite clearly how to use the NY subway which is most appropriated AK thanks 😊.
This video is a fantastic resource that I'll be sure to share with friends planning their NYC adventures. Thank you for demystifying the NYC Subway and turning what might seem daunting into a manageable and enjoyable experience!"
Great video I'm from the Bronx.n.y. and i do miss my home. B.X. baby 😃👍
Thank you AK , your so easy to follow along , and some background history is cool ( never knew about the hats on the subway walls hee ) 😊
My pleasure!
Thanks for this informative video! Your explanation of the trains in the subway system is very clear, but I'm still not sure on how to pay the fare. Is contactless payment the same as a contactless credit card? If I were to take the subway just once, would contactless payment be the same, less, or more than a MetroCard? If I ever visit New York, I'll have to do some research first. You call the MetroCard "old-fashioned." I used to take the Boston subway all the time in the days when I'd buy tokens from a person in a booth and put them in the slot. That's the old-fashioned way, and I think less complicated.
My advice to you (from an old public transit hand who's been doing this for a while) is to get an OMNY card, buy a pass for however long you're going to stay (or fill it up with enough money for the duration of your visit) and use that; *_don't_* use your credit card, as the use of that for fare payment will add up to a lot of money you have to pay on your credit card bill.
As for what you said about tickets and tokens-those were got rid of due to impracticality and waste; it's better to have a card like the MetroCard or the OMNY to pay for transit (you can still pay with cash *_if_* you want to, although that'll be expensive, too.)
@brucesdahms I remember the tokens lol
Thanks for the information! It is much appreciated,@@Neville60001
Yes, contactless credit card is a method of contactless payment. It's the same price as a MetroCard.
It seems that the doors only stay open for less than a minute is that really time enough to change cars if need be?
So that's how you get around Action Kid. Cool. Thanks for the show
As a Chinese who loves New York City, I really enjoy watching your videos. Thank you
I take this train to work. I'm always amazed how slowly tourists move, but this feels like a POV! Haha
That's great
I ❤ train
You miss the Bakerloo or Jubilee line? 😂
Happy holidays everyone. Cheers
Thanks ! 😊
👋🏽
AK, can you believe some kids think the subway train is a surf board? I've been hearing about this happening a lot lately on the elevated lines and a lot of bad injuries, sad mamas.
Yes, it's pretty scary to hear about!
I think the most important thing to mention here is to know the direction you're about to go. What happened to us, when we first visited NYC, we entered the wrong side of the Subway. We headed downtown but wanted to go uptown. So always make sure to know which direction you want to go. And we had no idea that there was an unlimited plan with the metro system 😂
Don’t forget your bulletproof vest and first aid kit!! 😎
The video is too long , thank you for effort anyway .
Good afternoon Action Kid,
Thanks for the infomration, as you speak on live, do you get reactions from people listening to you while you gives us viewers the stories?? Just curious?? I noticed a woman waving the camera as you go take the r train. Thanks for the insight because I take these trains the r, w, & j trains in financial district (since I go back & forth of work)
