Where Do We Go From Here? Part 2 (1970)

From the New York Transit Museum archives, a 1970 film about the challenges facing the newly-formed MTA and its role in the region's well-being. Narrated by veteran actor Pat Hingle.

Just 5 to 7 years later the whole thing collapsed! I remember almost ever IRT car smelling like urine. I'm glad those days are over now for the most part.

Naw history repeat's itself "hence the graffiti coming back"

[@MickeyMouseAndPals-Disney]

Ever since MTA Was In New York City. I Always Love There Transit System 😃 Keep It Up MTA!

[@glenatkinson1230]

Hopefully your new man Andy Byford can sort things out. He did good here in Toronto and I miss having him here. Good luck NYC.

[@williamerazo3921]

He was but Cuomo micromanaged MTA and said fuck it. Just seen him over the weekend

I remember going on a school trip to the NYCTA’s transportation’s main hub. So neat to watch the workers light up the traffic board.

Just before the subway trains got covered w/ graffiti!

[@tazz5406]

Some graffiti didn't look bad in certain places...

[@AGStylZ]

Whaaaatt! The Blue and Whites were handpainted?? Or was that just the finishing touches that guy was doing ~5:24? Either way...more examples of how handpainting was amazing before the 90's.

I remember subway cars before ac. When crowded, they got pretty stinky.

[@mattkowal90]

At 3:53-4:02 where is that M1 train traveling past?

[@matthewbulger6883]

Did the late actor Pat Hingle ever ride the nyc subway himself? I await your answer.

[@sanitman1488]

We can start with a subway connection Staten Island ?!?!

@kyolym
its DejaVu All Over Again! 50 Billion Debts. Can't some of these Wall Streeters pay for it ?? Their workers use the MTA services right??

[@williamerazo3921]

About fares that is about to operate it

[@kaifreeman294]

@ 1:09 not to play the race card here but it's funny how the narrator mention's about the different background's and yet you only see one black person. To me wouldn't it be a mix of every race but then again this was from the 70's: "so expect that".

[@mbrproductions160]

Different background doesn’t only mean different race

[@williamerazo3921]

Look at 420

[@eliskucevic340]

The MTA is a money pit for nyc riders and a cash cow for MTA workers.

[@YAZZYUTUBE]

All of that smoking in the meeting was awful. I'm glad smoking was banned in offices.

[@jimmyd8206]

Bunch of propaganda
