Instead of spending money on all those electronic billboards, the MTA should have spent that money to install ventilation in the subway stations.
You mean the ones that almost all have a shattered screens that resemble a dropped cellphone screens ? lol
All they do is waste money on bullshit
Gotta walk the entire platform to find a schedule, yet all these screens with adverts on them.
Well said!!
@@son278son5yes! Those ones! They generate heat, too.
It hasn't “reached” it's been like that forever
I was thinking as I clicked on the video…man modern technology has maybe the embellishment of exposure real because I KNOW this isn’t the slightest bit new…
it can get hotter you know right?
He'll be blown away how much better other countries subway systems operate if he travels abroad. I think it was Hong Kong, they had air conditioned platforms with barriers with automatic sliding doors that opened right at the subway door entrances and not paper billboard but electronic ones.
Same here in Japan too and spotlessly clean.
And they don’t charge as much as the thieving MTA
Are they over 120 yrs old?
Yea but they ain’t NY. They try to be, even though they want to be, they can never be.
NY rules! Best city in the world!
Lol not sure why this relevant.@changkwangoh
I chose to walk 20+ blocks because it was cooler than waiting in the subway station.
I lived in Arizona for a decade. I was pregnant in 120 degree weather. I moved back to NYC (shh I know, kicking myself still) 4 years ago, I rather deal with the daily triple digit temperatures in Phoenix than deal with a NYC summer, deadass 😂 people think I’m crazy when I say this but believe me, the heat is worse here. Maybe the humidity plays a role but NYC is unbearable during the summer.
The humidity is what makes it worse and hotter. If you’re saying NY is worse than Phoenix, then I be damn….
@@trustnoone3007 lmao 🤣
Nah seriously, i went on vacation to Arizona 2 summers ago during July. It was 111 degrees daily, but still doesn’t feel as bad as NYC heat because the air in Arizona is dry.
@@ScareCrow84543 lol see!
As someone from the west coast who now lives on the East.. I know exactly what you’re talking about. NYC heat hits different. I can’t deal
I remember when the train cars had no AC.
😂😂 I grew up in the 80’s when the cars still had graffiti so I remember that vividly!
@@khatzeye actually when people needed to cool off they used to go down in the subways. Back then there were no a/c on the trains blowing out hot air so it was like walking into a cave that is always cooler than the air above.
Oh hell nah
IRT BMT ha ha
Me 2. I remember New York City in the 1980's. Those old trains had no A/C, but we could open the windows near the ceiling. They were noisy, full of graffiti and the lights flickered inside while the trains were moving. People survived.
That’s crazy only 3 stations with cooling system
There are more than the listed ones, but that still doesn’t change the fact that most of the subway is unbearably oppressive.
Egregiously, the actual subway platforms at Fulton center do not have cooling, and the MTA was forced to spend 1.4 billion on it.
London underground trains don't even have air con💀💀💀
Yeah but new york summers are brutal.
34th Herald is horrible, it's always hot on the platform. It's sorta nice in the winter, but summer is just brutal.
Whew! U are not lyin! Unbearable heat.
34th is really bad but HOLY HELL don’t even think about checking out the 1, 2, 3 platform (at least at 72nd) or, like this video says, the 4, 5, 6 at Union Sq. An absolute nightmare.
West 4 is fucking unbearable
Yeah 34th is the worst, I think it’s because it’s more underground than union square so it borders near hell or something. The heat there is oppressive like it feels like it’s standing on your back. It’s hard to stand up there
Atlantic Avenue/Barclay's Center is another one 😫
E 125th Street is horrible. No air until you're on a train with AC.
I can guarantee you, it's even hotter in the tunnels on the tracks. How do I know? I'm a supervisor who has to regular walk the tracks to get to our diesel trains when they are out there working. It's a sauna down there. Be safe all. This heat is dangerous.
Its mind blowing that this city has so much money and they can't fix simple problems like overheat inside subway stations nor can't remodelate some very old stations.
They too busy helping the migrants, Ukraine, and Israel. That’s wheee all the money is going.
they gave all the money to the "migrants"
Simply problem?
Are you really that stupid?
Corruption .. there’s no money to be made off American general public being happy , they already pay their taxes with the conditions being as is…
However, there is TONS of buisness making money off the migrants gov checks, you just need to ask the NYC public officials to point u in the right direction of which company to invest in
Unions. . .
In winter, it's very nice down to go down there and feel the warmth.
Can be
Wow, ABC uncovered that NY subway stations are… hot in the summer, every summer! Sensational!! 😂😂😂
Breaking news from Capt. Obvious
All gangster till people start dying
Duh!
I was just down there on the Herald Square station last weekend. And it is indeed hot. Stay cool everyone.
The performance @2:35 looked absolutely pathetic.😅
yea.. bring back the guy with the dancing puppets lol
That guy makes $45 per hour. More during the holidays. I spent a whole day with him, you gotta give props to to him for the hustle. He picked a good spot.
Subway temperatures in NYC have been unbearable since forever ago. Must be a slow news day. 😂
filler story
The broadway-lafeyette and 59th st stations are some of the worst
Can’t wait for the fall nothing to enjoy about the summer it’s very humid hot as hell
Air conditioning is the greatest invention ever made
It's called SUMMER ☀️
THANK YOU!!!
If you ride the #1 train and cars are without AC. I told the conductor and, do you think that they will put that train out of service. That same train is still in service today, still without AC
Stop misinforming, the #1 train definitely has AC
It's been like that for over a century.....whats the problem?
Oh, it’s a problem. Make no mistake.
You’re slow…it’s not suppose to be overheated in the subway underground, especially in modern times.
Wait 10 minutes for a train in the summer and tell me there's no problem
@@manofwisdom000’Not supposed to be hot’….do you mean their should be a/c in all hot stations by now? If so, we gonna need to reopen the Indian point nuclear power plant to juice it all. Also, replace all power lines to deliver all that extra juice.
@@foisixes677The only problem I see is New Yorkers have become soft, cry babies as of late. We haven’t even hit 100 degrees or more in over 15 years and they complaining about the heat?…..it was way hotter decades ago…..realize the climate change fear mongering and get over it.
union square and herald square stations are the worst. i’ve never sweated like that standing still at 3am going home
The fact that the MTA still hasn’t provided cooling systems in most major train stations, proves they don’t give a damn about their customers. They want more money for what, exactly? They never used their funds to better these stations.
30 billion a fucking year
Fuck the MTA for neglecting to install
air-conditioning in EVERY damn station
in New York City!!! Serious negligence on
their part.
I think the system was built before AC was invented. Way too expensive and inconvenient to retrofit.
One correction for you. You used the word “Subway” a lot when you was talking about the train car. But you didn’t say Subway platform when you was on the platform. My point is when you go down in the Subway. The Subway is the whole thing not just the train car. So to some things up. THE SUBWAY WAS HOT!!! Waiting on the hot subway platform for the “train” was no joke. 😡🥵
Anthony is baking in that black polo.
Crime in NYC Subways is also at.
“Uncomfortable Levels”
Quiet or else = bigot/racist
Where is all that NYC money going. Isn't the city so f**king rich.
Broadway lafayette is absolutely the worst, theres 0 ventilation and people are sweating while sitting including me. Its so bad
This reporter went to journalism school for this 😂
It absolutely boggles the mind how it could be hot in a metal tube in summer I AM IN SHOCK
Washington DC's is cool. Also doesn't smell of urine.
@@annoyedok321 fair point
Tokyo, Kyoto, Taipei, Seoul subway tunnels are all clean and ventilated/AC-ed
Where do you live?
under-developed subway systems just shows how much money someone working in the MTA Is laundering into their pockets. Where is all the money going!!!
I go to work 4 days a week and get off at the Union Square subway station. My last job, I got off at the 34th St. Heard Square station. Let me tell y'all, ALL SUBWAY STATIONS ARE NOT CREATED EQUAL! THOSE TWO SUBWAY STATIONS GIVE ME ENOUGH SWEAT TO LAST ME THE WHOLE DAY!
WE NEED TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS NYC!!!!
It's not that bad weekdays because trains come.every 4- 7 minutes.On Weekends when there is no E Trains it's hell in the subways. Few 6 train and completely packed trains with people jam packed together and it's scorching hot. MTA do better
The Governor needs to hear about this. Oh, wait!
Governess
Did I see a man wearing a gold chain ?
So glad I am not visiting and taking the subway there now. I was there in late April and it was not hot. Brutal summer with humidity underground with no AC.....terrible. With so much $, not even a penny is spent on subway stations and trains that New Yorkers rely on to get around. It's also dirty so I can't imagine heat mix with the smell of piss underground.
Don't you have any real news to cover?
This is why I stopped taking the train
Eric Adams and the city council, please more trees and more greenery everywhere. Thank you.
MTA is always pretending they are improving the system. It is unbearable wait for trains in some stations. Try Canal Street, and Spring Street stations.
Fahrenheit???? WTF is that????
No amount of money from congestion pricing will finance the MTAs lack of HVAC. They've failed ouncemore
There should be AC in there. Every station underground is just too hot
If they put ac on every platform a metro card would instantly jump to $ 5 for a single ride after analyzing the cost they would raise it
NYC should be spending money on cleaning shit up.
The only real problem is that A/C is not always functional on train cars - sometimes windows open, or completely dead A/C. No one expects to stand in the subway long enough for high temps to become a personal problem.
Remember those hot summer days when you were lucky to get a train with good AC .. And if your train stopped without AC and lights between stations, it was a steam bath ... 😂
It's 118 on Vegas. Stop whining.
There is a difference between the heat in desert outside and walking into a subway station underground and it's about 100 degrees with no fresh air or airflow.
The smell, the quality of the air etc all matters.
My current location the average high for two months of the summer is over 90. It's humid and many of those days it's upper 90s and humid. It's not too bad.
Compared to walking into these stations and standing there it's feels like a cool crisp fall day.
Lived in Brooklyn in the 90s. Don't EVER remember the subways ever being nice and cool in the summer.
No complaints about the trains not having AC is crazy cause the 1 and 6 trains you sometimes have to switch to about 4 cars before you get one that barely working
Sharing that Jug of water was nasty
the folks must be stinky
I dont like that some comments are being critical
What do you want them to do about it? It's an open system. You can use a personal cooling device.
Did that girl say..........."dont go on the first date where u have to be on the platform"??? Who the hell would use the subway if they had a date
Most regular new yorkers
@@ft9kop someone is dressed to impressed and would get on the dirty subway? No cab? No Uber??
@@sollyparker3947 the subway is not dirty if you know how to look. If it's dirty don't sit, grab a hand bar and stand. Cabs and Uber are too expensive. Bring wet wipes to clean the seat.
@@ft9kop just figured someone didnt want to get stabbed or robbed before their date
as a resident here this is normal
2:25 the entirety of the second avenue subway has it, WTC-Cortlandt also has it as well
Many other places in the world has AC and/or ventilation in their underground tunnels and platforms. But nyc metro, feels like a frickin sauna on a summer day.
the amount of money laundered by the mta and they dont have fans in their stations.....
So basically the central line.
Yeah, being on subway platforms in summer is torture. But I remember having to take the subway when the cars WERE NOT air-conditioned. So I'll be happy, for that.
It's mind blowing that as much money as The MTA makes in a year as long as it has been in existence. There is no AC under ground. It's not just the AC the leaks the falling ceiling etc
Whos holding the politicians behind the MTA responsible? No one. Everyone is going to vote for the same party they always do- in this case the Democrats- no matter who's running so there's zero political incentive for politicians to act.
Actually no. 34th herald square is literally the pits of hell. Its even red n three levels down.
Its the fucking subway your all complaining like its something new.
59th street on the East & West are boiling train stations.... park place trainstation is a oven
Uncomfortable is an understatement.
Why tf was he recording that migrant tho
shouldn’t they install fans that spray light mist in these areas. a lot of counties have that in public areas.
Why is he saying it’s cooler? The whole point is it’s hotter.
Did they really just give them a gallon of water for them to drink🤣🤣🤣
The old South Ferry station was the definition of Hades.
NY subway is far better than most of European subways where there are no air conditioning
sahara desert is wild lmaooo
It's like walking to he'll, I was at bowery station
can we stop reporting that it's hot in the summer?
Uncomfortable?? Understatement much? Oppressive is better.. hellish?
mind you if they installed barriers like the ones they have in developed nations not only would they solve the issue of people getting pushed into trains but also enclose a space for AC to run in.
Here in New York for the first time, and honestly it felt like home lol. I’m a Houstonian who happened to plan this trip the same week as Beryl. Hope I go home to power tomorrow. Brooklyn and Manhattan don’t owe me nothing. Love the bustle of the city.
Not pointing fingers, but maybe just MAYBE the heat was generated by the AC from that station booth w ONE employee inside and the heat from the train ACs. More AC units mean more heat will be generated, and more trains at a given station means more AC unit active at any given time. Of course, the poor air circulation in the subway system would trap the heat in the stations for a prolonged period of time.
Its been like that for years.
What? Is hot in the subway? What a shocker.
This really is an example of bad government. The status quo isn’t acceptable. Climate change and COVID have have shown the whole system needs rethinking. The hot platforms are unacceptable.
It can sometimes be worse in LA. We should know because our pastor uses the LA Metro subway to get around.
when its hot like this, the oncoming train wind cools u down
I remember when they started cooling Grand Central platforms, I thought it was the most amazing thing ever
There's been many times this summer and past summers, I go on to certain cars of the train with no AC at all. Gotta hop off every stop to find the one with running AC 😬❄
They must of not heard if 181st on the 1
💯
Alot of stations are bad,the 6 train has no A.C,71st and Jamaica center are like Hell, literally, that's why i hop every day
The video is NOT from 14th Street!
Try the second ave stop thats absurd.
So we gonna do this every summer? Okay
very useful and creative reporting. good job.
This is not news.
Anthony😮 why are you waring Black🥸 it’s absorbs HEAT 🥵 no one’s ever taught you that 🙄
this just in! water is wet, sun is hot. guess we for get that every summer eh? its summer. when is it ever comfy in the summer in ny.. wtf do u expect ?
BECAREFUL OUT THERE in THERE OK
MTA GETTING ALL THAT TOLL MONEY AND STILL CANT GIVE US COMFORT
And then the exhaust fans that keep the motors cool under the trains add to the heat
