      I have litterally watched every new york video you've put up! So damn informative. The series where you just do the different disricts were amazing. Will probably rewatch them all again nearer novemeber. Thank you. Doughnut on me from that place if I bump into you!

      Can you get transfers now? I mean, as you get on or off can you ask for a transfer, so that you can ride within a certain window of time, after you first pay your fare?
      Asking because things change.

    If u are a tourist and traveling and using that MTA, Here's a tip from a New Yorker
    1. Get a Metro Card, A single ride cost 2.75
    2. Have a Phone (with google maps, because its helpful) or A subway map
    3. If you have a phone, Get a NYC Bus and Train time app.

    The color-coding of the train lines denotes the street they travel under while in Manhattan between (generally) 14th Street and 59th Street.
    From east to west:
    4,5,6 (green): Lexington Avenue
    N,Q,R,W (yellow): Broadway to Times Square, then north along Seventh Avenue before turning east
    1,2,3 (red): Seventh Avenue to Times Sq, then continuing northwest/north on Broadway
    B,D, F, M (orange): Sixth Avenue (also known as Avenue of the Americas)
    A, C, E (blue): Eighth Avenue
    The reason for the "crisscross" of the 1/2/3 and N/Q/R/W is because Broadway isn't strictly north-south--it starts in the eastern portion of downtown, and starts "meandering" west in midtown, crossing 7th Avenue at Times Sq.

    5:29 'THE COLOUR DOESN'T MEAN MUCH' ???? Of course it does. It tells you what trunk/corridor it is using in Manhattan. Red trains go down Broadway and then at Times Square, down 7th Ave. Green trains go down Lexington Ave., and then at Grand Central station, down Park Ave. Orange is 6th Ave., but Blue is 8th Ave. Each trunk line in Midtown or Downtown Manhattan has a different colour !

    For me, I only managed to learn the Number 1 train running uptown and downtown...that was a brave as I wanted to be for my first trip to NYC. I used LIRR to get to Penn Station from JFK and used it again to go back....the NY Subway system is one of the oldest and most complex subway systems in the world....and yes, the stations range from beautiful and elegant to grungy and awful....but they all have a lot of character and history...whereas the DC Metro by contrast is very plain & utilitarian. I've ridden subway systems in Berlin, Moscow, and Washington DC but none are as sprawling and complex as New York's system.

    The NYC Subway system is one of the most complicated metro's to navigate because of it's antiquated and nonsensical numbering and lettering. In almost every other metro in the world, one looks for "the red line" or "Line 1" and then makes chooses the direction based on the name of the last stop. Even locals get confused.

    London is a century ahead of New York City.
    Living in London my whole 44 years of life. I have seen the investment that is put into the system.
    Billions are poured into the London underground by TFL Transport for London.
    But New York City, has been neglected for generations. The image of New York's train's is very tatty.
    New York city's mayor's and governors greed has led to the downfall of the city's transport system.
    When traveling in New York, it feels as if they are stuck in a time frame from the past.
