Boy these are the nerdiest bunch of people I've ever seen in my life.... I want to be friends with all of them 😊
The utmost of compliments!
@@MilesinTransit OMG OMG MILES IN TRANSIT RESPONDED TO MY COMMENT 🙀🙀🙀
Dido.....
Even the one that sold the crack to tourist in the station?
Same!
Been waiting for this video. It dropped while I was taking my motorcycle class
Oh, I love the show. I can’t believe they came back for a special xD amazing good job here
Who will win the race!? Vote now on your phones! 📱
SHOOT IT WAS SUCH A MISSED OPPORTUNITY NOT TO PUT THAT IN THE VIDEO! You guys know my running jokes better than I do!!
ok
Flix
@@MilesinTransit AND I THOUGHT I KNEW YOU!
Team Amtrak
miles really going for that retention rate by airing this series right between jetlag seasons
You know it!
ok
crossover when??
I only got this video recommended to me because I watched Jet Lag
His mind !!!!
It's always so awesome to see people bond over their niche interest.
"We are witnessing a rare moment, here we see a wild Miles socializing in his natural habitat. Amazing" - Daviid Attenborough, probably. "Why do you have to demonstrate everything?" Aaron's been real quiet since Meir dropped that diss track. The plot twists are quality entertainment. Kudos to these companies for giving us such much needed drama for this challenge. And Jackson is the John Williams of the transit community with all this amazing background music! Also, you can get around the AirTrain fare at JFK by getting off at Lefferts Blvd and taking the Q10 bus from there to Ozone Park on the A!
Fun fact: The voice of the announcement saying "ATTENTION PLEASE" is Carolyn Hopkins! She can be heard at over 200 airports around the world from Incheon to Paris-Charles de Gaulle! And she can also be heard at NYC Subway stations and the Staten Island Ferry! She does it all from the comfort of her Maine home too (though originally from Kentucky)!
Jackson is TOTALLY the John Williams of transit! He knocked it out of the park here!
You've inspired me to take more trips without using any private vehicles. While it can often be more difficult I think it's really fun and exciting and has given me a completely new perspective.
That's amazing to hear!
Agreed! It's a lot more fun even though you may have spend half your day going somewhere you could have just got in a car and driven a few hours.
Miles, it is a great testament to you and the community that you’ve built here that the comments I expected to see aren’t here. Keep up the good work.
I'm grateful to have the absolute best fans! Thank you!
"Okay, this is a little crazy" You know it's actually crazy when Miles, the guy who does crazy transit adventures, admits that it's crazy. Ah yes, the best city in the US, ✨Ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch New York✨. Cleveland bringing the jetBlue drama is such a Cleveland move....FUN TIMES IN CLEVELAND AGAIN! Yes Lucky Star is a Chinatown bus service (well, was as since November 2022, FlixBus absorbed them). It's also apparently the name of a manga series too...and a Madonna song. Considering how much the US government has tried to stamp them out and other Chinatown bus lines were absorbed by Megabus, interesting to see one like Lucky Star last that long.
Would love the Park Street song as my ringtone. Park Street's history began in 1897 when the upper level opened thanks to the southern section of the Tremont Street subway from the Public Garden incline through Boylston to Park Street. The lower level opened in March 1912 when the Cambridge subway opened from Harvard Square to Park Street Under. The station was first built with 4 tracks serving 2 island platforms. These were connected by two loops, allowing streetcars from the south and west to reverse direction and return to the portals and surface routes.
Fun fact: I saw Jordan waiting at government center for a green line train and when I got on the train, he sat right across from me! I was gonna say hi to him, but I was too nervous. Then he got off at park street. Oh well.
“Wait are you Sandra Bullock in this?” “Sure!” Ahahaha
love this! Can’t wait for the next chapter
My next line was literally "I think this is the first time anyone has compared me to Sandra Bullock, but I'll take it!" 😅🦊
23:59 is pure editing magic. So smooth
Thank you!!
@@MilesinTransit I had to look through the comments to ensure that had been give due recognition, bravo Sir!
@@RallyingSightsSounds Thank you!!
i do not know how you managed to find such a funny group of people but i am greatly enjoying this
Thank you so much! We couldn't have asked for better people to participate!
I know it goes against the spirit of the channel but it would’ve been interesting to have an 8th team that drove a car to New York.
**5th Like, First Comment**
The fact that you visted the McDonald's at the bus terminal means this was filmed last year and since you bought tickets at the door means it was probably before flix "partnered" with lucky star, which makes it summer? On another bus note I didn't know OurBus ran from Boston to NYC, I wonder if they are going to operate out of the bus terminal expansion if that SNAFU ever resolves.
Last summer, yup! Good call!
Love this !!!, Would love to have seen Amtrak to New London. Ferry from New London CT to Orient NY. Transit bus Orient to Greenport NY. LIRR Greenport to NY Penn.
That's what I thought they were doing when I saw the red route go over Long Island before realizing it was a plane. Hope to see this in a future Miles in Transit video though.
Believe me, we thought about it, but the goal in the end was to make every team somewhat competitive!
@@MilesinTransit Fair, this route would be too out of the way. Not to mention Greenport service on the LIRR is severely limited.
Then again, it would've been a good troll move to just be like "LIRR and Suffolk Transit, take it or leave it...have fun!"
@@MilesinTransit Roger that. It would have been interesting to see if the land/sea/land route would have beaten the bus route, considering how bad traffic can be on I95 in Conn. I think if the route were reversed, that being NYC to Boston on a Saturday morning in the Summer, the ferry route would have a very good chance of beating the buses. I95 northbound on Summer Saturdays is a parking lot. From Greenwich to all points east.
shouldn't take the commuter rail to worcester, Pvta Bus to amherst, Another Pvta bus to springfield, CT rail to New Haven, and a Metro north to Grand Central
This was genuinely amazing - the editing was super well done while preserving the amazing Miles chaos… well worth the wait. Great job!
Thanks so much, Cedric!
As your #TribalKing, I am hereby issuing a formal complaint against Team Pantograph (particularly Miles) for not following the instructions of taking Amtrak and making up their own decisions. I also like to issue a formal complaint against Uillia O'Connell for allowing this to happen and not following the rules. The Tribal King finds this to be a personal attack on his character as once again he is rigged out of a potential win and should he beat my team, Myself and my team will seek legal advice...
The Tribal King hereby places the owner of Miles In Transit and Ms. O'Connell on notice, and per the CBA I signed, I hereby declare myself on strike until the matter is adjudicated by a competent individual that will satisfy all parties.
Sincerely,
The Tribal King
Thank you Tribal King for caring so much about your people!
A strike?? Now we'll have to find someone to replace the Tribal King in subsequent episodes...
@@MilesinTransit You can't replace me...thats part of the CBA that the Tribal King signed, and should u replace me, I would sue.
I am however willing to have a meaningful discussion about this complaint with you at your earliest convenience, mediated of course by a non-partisan third party so that we could all come to a satisfactory result.
@@TransitKing925 We might have to have a conversation about the events that occur in Part 2...
Looks like the Dungeons & Dragons reunion was a great success.
Was the Dragon a he/him or?
@@wexfordlad14 The dragon identifies as a trans SEPTA tram.
All hail the Chinatown bus! The great unsung hero and dead cheapest option in the Northeast.
I like how the bus in the thumbnail looks like it has an angry face
It's like an evil mastermind ruining their plans...Evil FlixBus be like: One small NYC parking lot, take it or leave it.
Will you have another great race like Franklin park where anyone can sign up?
Very unlikely. A lot of the footage from the last one we did (Germantown) is really bad and I think it's pretty unlikely that video will ever come out.
Is that a guy or a girl?
Who cares?
Rewatching this after Jet Lag and I love the so-quiet-you-can-barely-hear-it "let's go to the beach beach" at 24:58
Thank you Miles for helping me feel like being watched having a social interaction is okay :)
Big bang theory meets amazing race, love it
There's OurBus too.
There are multiple locations in Massachusetts for our bus
Omg I wish I was y’all’s friends, this is the best RUclips series I’ve ever seen. I love trans ppl I love autistic ppl
“rambunctious” describes this youtube video very well
I live in southern Fairfield County Connecticut so you’re passing right in my area in transit from my house to New York City. It’s like 45 minutes. The traffic in Hartford and Waterberry in Danberry in New Haven and New London is awful. My parents and I have driven the route through Hartford and through New London and both of them are honestly just OK but I prefer the route through New Haven because it is more scenic along Long Island sound also, I am rooting for you guys and I hope the Peter Pan bus stops at New Haven but I don’t know if your bus will have to stop in Stamford because Stanford train station is huge. I don’t know what’s stopped there I think they do because me and my dad have driven down there from my house it’s only like a 20 minute drive even though we live in the neighboring town
Now you gotta do the great race to califroina from NYC
Came here for the transit content, did not expect Temple University Housing and Residential Life. Lived in White Hall 2015-16
To think...you could've ended up on BoltBus if this was done before Greyhound canned it lol (I actually miss BoltBus tbh...)
I never got to ride Bolt before they got rid of it...it was the one major bus company in the northeast I never tried.
This was insanely entertaining. Every single racer was fun to watch.
Thank you so much!
Love that you added everyones pronouns at the beginning of the video! So amazing, wish more RUclipsrs did that!
It was definitely helpful since I don't really know who any of them are
Agreed! Miles cares about the community and it shows.
OK this is at least as good as jet lag
Aww, you're too kind! Thank you!
Massive multiplayer was a brilliant idea.
The kids are alright
the thumbnail looks like it says "EW YORK"
Do you think a great race in Chicago would be possible? I mean, there's at least thirteen ways to get from State and Madison (0E 0N) to the Jeff pk transit center on the northwest side!
Maybe! Although the best races are the one where every route is at least somewhat reasonable - for Jefferson Park, it looks like the Blue Line and Metra are the only two reasonably competitive options?
@@MilesinTransit But where's the fun in that?
@@a81517 I think it's most fun when it's actually up in the air of who'll win!
@@MilesinTransit In that case, maybe a race to wilson/marine? The lake shore drive express buses are competitive to the red line!
I grew up in Brooklyn, NY and now live in Linden, NJ. So I enjoyed part 2 so much watching everyone try to get to NYC from the airports lol. Having picked up my friends by car at JFK and dropped them off at EWR, what a nightmare! And LGA is like no one wants to fly from there lol.
6:59 "Jordan has entered the McDonald's. This is my life." 😂
The greatest victim of cancel culture is always transit
How old is the footage ? Over 1year ? Because all the masks :(
Yeah, we filmed this last August.
I hope that there will be atleast one water fountain review in this video....
I have to feel bad for a lot of the teams here. Everyone wanted the Amtrak, I'm sure
I'm luxuriating in the autism. Best channel on YT
I yearn to find a group of people like you guys to go on weird adventures on public transportation 😭
My first thought with the flickering bathroom lights was maybe the door wasn't latched properly. Is it one of those where the light comes on automatically when the door shuts/locks? Hate when they make it confusing 😩
The Foamer Olympics is fun so far
You have better friends than most and this certainly proves it.
If not for the slow speeds of the new haven line, I could already guess who would win.
SO EXCITED FOR THIS SERIES!!!
my only advice would be to add some normalization or compression to your audio. It can be a little jarring. love where the series is going!
Pantograph for 1st, Temple University Housing and Residential Life for 2nd, This is Just a Points Run for 3rd.
Nathan is a gorgeous creature. That is all.🥰
Goddmanit jordan. You should’ve stuck with the 5 guys
"Infinity War is the most ambitious crossover in cinematic history"
Miles in Transit:
Why was the bus canceled
You gotta watch the video to find out! (actually they never told us why it was canceled...)
the level to which miles cares about gender equality is so fucking cool and will forever make this my favorite channel on youtube
❤️
Jet lag’s would-be title for this series: 4 hours to race from Boston to New York City!
This looked like so much fun! I miss being young and free to enjoy time being adventurous with friends.
The team on the train definitely seems to be chilling with the most style...
Good muffins and good scenery!
So much energy everyone!! I hope Jeremy wins, sorry Miles
No offense taken 😂
Nice job on the editing!!
Thank you!
This is epic so far! Very impressed with the production values
Thank you!!
Better than Jetlag some have said!
This was way more entertaining than I could have imaged. Really makes me miss Boston.
Thank you!
It's a fun city
The American flight was on one of their A321T Airbii which are intended for trans-Continental service. They will be reconfigured into “normal” seating soon.
I was going to say, BOS-JFK must have been the shortest route an AA A321T has ever flown
God bless my algorithm for showing me your channel. This is my exact nerdy niche of content 🙌
Aww, thank you so much!!
The most awesome band of misfits on the internet :)
Just Fabulous And So Much Fun!! You Made A Old Queen From San Diego🌴 SMILE!! And Made My Day Much Brighter.Thanks So Much!!Love Your Channel, Looking Forward To Your Summer Adventures.🌈
I'm so glad you enjoyed it, thank you!
Lucky star has really treated me right in the past
3:38 so what you're saying, people could have taken Lyft.
4:34 that is the 1 five guys I've seen that serves breakfast food. Regular locations open at 11 or 12
Yes jaywalking is bad.
How many buses are there to NYC? I thought it was just greyhound and Peter Pan?
I will only thank the bus driver when they deserve it.
How can you just cancel a presumably packed bus? This isn't a bus that gets 2 people, I'd assume this is a almost sold out bus. That's bad.
I'm betting Jordan's team wins.
Jay walking is based and you always thank the bus driver
@@evenoddridge4829 not when they're not good at their job. Lol
There are six bus companies in total between Boston and NYC!
Nah is it me or everyone looks different from the last race they did (Ex: Great Race to Chelsea & Franklin Park)
I mean, this was filmed a year later!
Figured I'd throw this idea out there, since it is related. If you ever do another Road to trip (presuming it's not DC), a great idea (with the right amount of fundraising) is flights out to San Francisco from New York and then using various public transport options (bus, subway, trolley) to get to Fisherman's Wharf and back. You could feasibly do it in one day, too.
That's an interesting thought, although I'm not sure how interesting it would be to just have, like, six teams on planes. It's hard to make good content on a plane!
@@MilesinTransit The content comes from the transport options to and from the airport (since both cities have a lot of public transport options) and potential issues with airlines at both JFK and Newark. Plus, there's a non stop to Oakland on Spirit, where you can get one team to use the larger bay area transport options to get into San Francisco proper. Just a thought.
The editing of this is fantastic. Rooting for team Lucky Star!
Thank you so much!
Very exciting! I can feel the tension, even after the fact. Looking forward to next week. (Liked the Patreon promo.)
Thank you!
i cant believe yt kept this channel from me for so long. what a fun group too!
Thank you!
You guys are blessed to have friends who would do when I was young in the 80s I would have been laughed at have fun and be safe out there 😊😊😊
That's fun!
This video at least confirms the same bus manufacturer does that same 'doors opening' voice, on both CTA and MTA buses. Probably all the newer buses from this manufacturer(besides Chicago and NYC, for transit systems all over where they were manufactured for), have that feature.
The fare you spent to film this video for all these rides, kinda makes me wish CTA and MTA would consider fare capping. Milwaukee(MCTS) buses do have fare capping implemented now(since last year I think, and I did a Milwaukee trip this past December), and its nice.
That transition at 23:59 though...👨🍳👨🍳
I was so proud of that one 😌
as soon as I saw Peter Pan I laughed, poor team
19:01 Hey - I know where that is! I've gotten off at that WRTA stop a ton of times to get the commuter rail into Boston.
Cool
15:17 you might have been able to get on the earlier AA flight to JFK using same-day standby
flixbus is greyhounds parent company so....when u book flix u can get greyhound vice versa now
Jordan is getting in my nerves
We love Jordan
this is absolutely thrilling
No acela? Too unfair?
Just didn't time well; there's an Acela team going back up!
@@MilesinTransit wait. Going back up? There's two races?
@@robk7266 Yup, it's a round trip!
These folks would make a great cast for an upcoming “Revenge of the Nerds” movie redux! 😂
Im so glad you guys didn't add me. Yall said Bikes. I would have hopped a scooter soo fast 🤣🤣🤣🤣
So the Logan Airport groups got one of the few remaining Neoplans on the Silver Line - and it was 1125, which was the same exact one I rode yesterday! How cool is that!
Just starting to watch these series. Hopefully by the end it shows on short trips trains could be better. I’ll comment at the end.
The interior of that plane looks almost as cramped as the Atlanta Greyhound station, which is hell on earth.
If you guys are ever doing a race from dc to New York I’m down to film the new seaplane segment.
I mostly want an excuse to take that seaplane.
Jeremy is The player of that series that could become a participant in Jet Lag
