    Brings back a lot of Brooklyn/ Coney Island memories from the 80s! Loved it!! The train rides back and forth from Williamsburg to Coney Island seemed like an eternity when i was kid 😂 but i loved every minute looking out the window and just not feeling at all scared or afraid. It was just great seeing a diverse group of people. It was around the same year of this video, when my family went to Coney Island and my mom said there was a photographer taking pics of people at the beach just hanging out. He asked if he could take a picture of me and my chocolate ice cream covered face 😂😂 I was 6/7 at the time😂

      Looking out the window? WTF are you talking about. If those are window, they look like no one cares either to clean them. Or the public doesn't care enough to respect them.
      Ya.... at first I thought that this train was part of a nightmare or horror scene in a movie. But this is reality of a filthy, decaying and depressing hot mess. No wonder every person who visits NYC says it a dirty place, that smells like urine and rot.
      But I'm glad for this video. Because if I visit m, I'm packing. Ya..... don't even think about approaching me about anything.. I'm going to take care of business, and keep on a stepping. Cuz, that looks like a war zone. And the most important thing in any war, is self preservation. That's right, it's me -v- you, and I'm going to take care of me.
      Don't get it twisted, I'm not starting troubles. Just minding my own business. Therefore if you leave me alone, I'll leave you alone.

      ny graffiti didnt have any laws for a while. you could go right on the rails and paint the outside of trains. then fences came and security. the inside of the trains were still being marked. so now the insides are made in a way they can be cleaned easily and the paint dont stick permanently. they were spending so much money on the inside and outside of cleaning trains they pretty much developed every way possible to make it not work. the graffiti fines werent that much also. i dont know what they are now but you might get $100 fine in ny or even just let go and charged only for some kind of petty vandalism or tresspassing. in my city you can get 5 years of community service if you get caught.

At 15 in 1987 I thought 1967 was a long time ago. It literally felt like 50-60 yrs ago when it was only 20. I can't believe this was 34 yrs ago, it's weird how time and age greatly changes our perceptions of the world. I still ride around on 1985 motorcycle .

    True Story. Growing up in Washington State, I visited NYC on Business for the first time ever in 2016 at 50 years old (I had to make the trip alone). Loved NY and one Sunday morning while at the Hotel, I came up with the Great idea of visiting Coney Island (Since i had heard about it many times growing up). So I mapped it out and hopped on the Subway. I First visited Roosevelt Island via the Tram, then made my way to Court Square to catch the "G". Of Course, At the end of the G, I had to wait for the "F" to go the Final Leg. When I approached Coney Island, I was like "Wow, this is Quiet" (And there were just a couple people on the Train). I get out, cross the Street and Coney Island was CLOSED for the Fall and Winter🤣😅🤣🤦 (it was like late October and the temp was actually in the Mid 60's, so nice) . But I had No Idea they closed down for the cold months. So I walked around feeling like an idiot, and Thankfully Nathan's was the only thing open, so I had their Famous Hot Dogs and then hopped on the "F" to Downtown Brooklyn; Transferred to the "A" or "C" for one stop, and Walked across the Brooklyn Bridge into Manhattan. That's my Coney Island Story😛😛😛😛 I love NYC and have visited many times since.

      I also think it has to do with our phones. I mean everything is recordable in a second. If you dare to do something different than others like overthere in a subway you can count on it that your face is shown atleast at one social media platform.
