To everyone saying that Conductors are not important. Yes true on smaller system this would work but NYC system is to large and Conductors are vital for the public safety, systems time and efficiency. In NYC its all about speed and efficiency via public demands...hence time is $. The MTA has to have a reason for EVERY lateness, its has to report EVERY lateness to the Federal Government. How is one Train operator going to handle 1200-1500 people by themselves? You have no idea how tuff it is. I do. when things are smooth its easy but when things happen ......its no joke. and you have to have valid reason and explanation for how you handle a situation. everything is about timing and accuracy.
Also, the MTA would have to do what London did and replace the trains with conductors (as they call them in England, 'guards') with trains that have in cab CCTV. Otherwise, the driver will have to lean out the window and judge for themselves when to close the door, or rely on a platform attendant. So in other words, you might have to rely on a 2nd person anyway!
Very similar to the PATH PA5 controls which are either out in the open or inside the cab. But don’t film the operations of the PATH door controls as photography is (ridiculously) banned on that system.
I mean, i figured, but funny how only path. So actually, back in 2001, little known fact was the tubes were shut down because two employees of some middle eastern decent happened to not show up to work that day, and they were concerned a further attack was planned there as well. Nothing ever came of it, but just the scope of how far the concern went.@@davidng2336
I am a Japanese who loves MTA. Is it a question, which switch will sound the Stand clear of the closing door's please broadcast before the door closes?
In case of obstruction in the doors (passenger places object between the doors while closing) the local recycle will cause the doors in question to open slightly for obstruction to be removed
@Team Epiphany Tyler that's exactly what it is. At outdoor terminals, or when there is a delay and the train is outside during inclement weather, in order to prevent it getting water in the train, we partial close the doors and only the emergency door is open to allow people to exit and enter the cars. In cases of hot/cold weather, we partial close so that the HVAC works properly. That's also why the windows are always closed. If you enter a cold car, chances are a window or multiple windows are open and the cold air messes up the HVAC in the car making the car cold
Weirdly, on the NYC Subway's trains that have two 5-car sets coupled together, the conductor doesn't close the doors of both trainsets at the same time. Instead, they check one trainset and close the doors for that, and then do the same for the other one. This looks really odd and is kind of antiquated in this day and age. It also takes more time. OPTO can and does forcefully fix this problem. However, even without OPTO, they can have the conductor live camera feeds of the whole platform, and after seeing that the whole platform is clear, the conductor can close all the doors of all cars simultaneously with the press of one button. This is how the closing of doors work systemwide at virtually any other rapid transit system in the world, no matter the train length (except the driver is doing this, of course). I have never seen the closing of doors of one trainset after another anywhere outside NYC.
$34.84 + night and weekend differential. wages are good a-lot of overtime. It can be ruff at times especially the public and a lot of incidents that the news or no one is aware of except internally.
If I had a guess wit that,thats when one door closes and the other one stays open next 2 it.ive seen trains wit that b4.mostly at the world trade center e train when its wating 2 go back into queens
Yes, most other cities' train doors are automatic -- but in NYC there's a special kind of stupid members of the public that's allowed to exist with impunity which require manual intervention to compensate for. Also, conductors answer questions for riders as there are many changes daily to train routing for various reasons. Again, mostly for idiots causing problems in the system.
@@MrMam-yo7qp literally the train operator can do the same thing. Other metros have one person controlling the entire train. It's like they split the labor of one person into two
@@MrMam-yo7qp safety is just a way to override, don't get me wrong it provides jobs I'm just saying it's pointless. As you can see in the video the lady closed the rear section of the train first, and people still got caught in the doors, she was about to reopen the doors but the local recycles allowed all the obstructed doors to fully close. Then she closed the front section. All you need is two CCTVs to scan the platform in the operators cab, play the stand clear of the closing doors announcement, and close the doors. People are gonna get caught in the doors regardless so it's not like the conductor is there to stop the doors from closing on people. MTA is just so old school with things.

I wish one day someone teaches rookies to learn how to be train conductor.
Everyone has to and will learn, we were all rookies at one point 🙄😒
I’ve been using TSW to practice operating trains.

why is photography banned specifically on the path?
@@TurtleSauceGaming post 9/11 fears and stuff. And it’s not just PATH. Anything owned by the Port Authority of NY & NJ most likely has a photo ban.

That's the R143 L Train
I am a Japanese who loves MTA. Is it a question, which switch will sound the Stand clear of the closing door's please broadcast before the door closes?
The door warning is controlled manually via the IC panel.
There is a red button on the back of the cab that you can't see here. The conductor presses it and it says the Stand Clear announcement.
The chime automatically plays when the door closes
@@BenTheMinerBEN Whatchu doin here lol? Big fan of PTA
I think I wanna be that when I grow up
Was a conductor on the 6 and the 5. Not as easy as it looks.

Make More Video's like this Please Stand Clear of the closing doors please
I never knew they close the doors for both sides of the train
Yup I believe nyc is the only place that does this idk but I love when they do that
@Team Epiphany Tyler the A/E/F/N/Q/R/W would be 5 and 5 and the C/J/L/M would be 4 and 4
@@angelrosario1290, Same thing for the IRT 1-6 Lines; the 7 would be 6/5 for the doors as they have 11 cars instead of ten.
@@videonut1988 you are correct
@Ty Da Gamer true but how do they close both 5 cars if they’re 2 conductors and also old trains have more than 2 conductors
Can you make more vids of these
I want to know the wages
I work on the London underground as a train operator
$34.84 + night and weekend differential. wages are good a-lot of overtime. It can be ruff at times especially the public and a lot of incidents that the news or no one is aware of except internally.
Wow
This job looks interesting and exciting at the same time
Nah it’s the take the L train 💀💀💀
Is there a course to study for the exam?
Why does that job look do easy
She did not look at or acknowledge the zone light for indication to make sure all door lights extinguished.
The external guard lights outside the train provide those indications as well. That's what she's looking at.

Make more and show train operators
@JaeSean Roberts The video is private. I’m it’s yours can you make it public?
@@MrMam-yo7qp They most likely can't due to some restrictions I'm guessing
@@TBF_1J Oh ok :(

If you need to use those controls, they will explain it to you beforehand
Nyc Transit RailRoading is awsome
fr
"bing bong!"
What does Zone light, partial close, shuttle and DEZONG mean?
Zone light is an indication that the doors are closed. Partial close only closes one door instead of two, and dezong is unknown
Dezone takes that conductor's position offline so the doors cannot be operated from that position until another conductor arrives and 'zones up."
Is it r143 or R160
143
It’s that easy?
Maybe
What is partial close?
If I had a guess wit that,thats when one door closes and the other one stays open next 2 it.ive seen trains wit that b4.mostly at the world trade center e train when its wating 2 go back into queens
Its when all doors in each car closes with exception of one door. The reason is for keep the customers comfortable in winter or summer.
How did you get there
They probably work there
Such a pointless job with all the automation we have now...
How is it pointless? They still need to ensure our safety, play the announcements, and operate the door and communication.
