Hi John! Is the $22.30 and $27.25 tip still relevant? We're flying into the U.S. next month (Jan '19) and have decided to spend our first weekend in NYC. We're on a tight budget so every dollar counts. Also, thanks for your videos! We've legit planned our entire NY weekend around your advice. Looking forward to trying your $1 pizza places 😉

If you have money left on an expired Metrocard don't throw away the card, if the expiration date is less than 1 year old you can ask the clerk in the booth to transfer the fare to a new card. If the expiration date is more than one year old, ask the clerk for the pre-paid envelope and form to mail the card to MTA and they will send you a new card with the fare on it.

@@HereBeBarr John, there's so many rooms in between stations that I've seen open with old old equipment from the begining era of the subways. Also a lot of stations have walls built over old exits/entrances ( Central park west on the A & C line) Sometimes the maintainers will leave a door open and you can see old areas with old station booths and old advertisements. There's also a lot of closed unbuilt areas where there was supposed to be subway service planned.

When I lived in New York City in the 1980s, the 28th St. 456 train station was closed. We used to climb down on the track and walk up to the subway tunnel and explore the closed station. It was a little bit sketchy, but never had any problems. I also remember being at a local stations and walking to the next station which was an express train, it actually Saved time.

In case some don't know majority of the "subway scenes" that you'd see in TV or Movies were filmed in an unused subway station in Toronto, Canada in Downtown Toronto. Even a NYC subway scene would be filmed there. It's called Bay Lower Station. It was used however for only 6 months in 1966 & discontinued due to confusion when transferring to another subway route if I'm not mistaken. Now it's used for filming. So next time you see a "subway scene" on film, you'll know it's most likely in Toronto 😉

Johns videos on the Subway saved me a fortune, I watched them made notes, printed of a copy of the E Line map, caught the Air Train to Jamacia, then got my metro card, loaded it with $11.00 of I went, followed the sign to the E train, I was in Manhattan 42nd street in quick time. Taxi was around $90 what a saving. I used the subway to do everything, one stop down town to 34 Penn street you aren’t the Edge, look back down the street you see Madison Square Garden stay to the left you hit MACYS, look across the street you are at the Empire State Building. Back on the Subway at 34 Penn to 5th Avenue 53rd your at St Patrick’s Cathederal. The key to the subway for me was is it up town or down town. Johns videos were my bible in New York, Thank you John.

Very cute and interesting. I haven't lived in NYC for almost 30 years but did grow up in Brooklyn in the 1950's/60's. The old train you show used to be used on the F train (IND) line when I was young. Those funny looking handles between the cars were how the conductor opened/closed the train doors. He (no she's back then) stood on a little step, while stopped in the station and held each handle, one controlled doors in the front cars, the other the rear car doors. In the later 1960's these train cars were still used on the Culver Line Shuttle which ran from 9th ave (west end line of BMT) with platform one level below the B train and ran up to McDonald Ave or Ditmas where it connected to the F train, IF I recall correctly. Also these wicker seated trains had bare screw in incandescent bulbs. The threads were reverse of standard light bulbs to avoid theft. Subway tokens in the 1950's were about the size of a dime with little Y's cut in them and cost 15 cents. You mention sucking tokens out of blocked slots, we did similar things with pay phones. The coin slot was open on the bottom and we'd stuff wet tissue up the slot so coins wouldn't drop down. Every few days we'd pull the dried tissue out and sometimes get as much as 80 or 90 cents. That was a lotta dough to a 10 year old. FYI, BMT stood for Brooklyn Manhattan Transit, IND was Independent Subway System and the IRT was Interboro Rapid Transit. Nice video. Thanks for lettin' an old Brooklynite reminisce.

In the 50's some train cars had the conductors "control" panel in the middle of the car on the side wall. Those cars also had wicker seats, bare light bulbs, porcelain hand holds and ceiling fans without covers, very dangerous.

Im 64 and remember those nostalgia trains when they were in service mostly on the 8th and 6th ave lines. They as you said go back to the 1930s and were part of the Independent or IND lines which today are the A, B, C, D, E , and G lines. These lines were always owned by the city and are not as old as the other two divisions. The Brooklyn Manhattan Transit are the J, L , M, N , Q and R lines were privately owned as were the numbered lines which are the IRT or Interboro Rapid Transit which are the 1, 2, 3, 4 , 5, 6, 7 and 42nd street Shuttle. The IRT are the oldest since 1904 or 07 I believe. The lettered lines have wider and longer cars and cant operate along the numbered lines tunnel. But there is one station where a lettered and numbered line stop on the same platform. This is Queens Plaza where the number 7 train makes a connection with the N train and here youd be able to observe the diffrence in car sizes. Thanks for posting!

The ghosts of its pasts are scattered throughout the streets. You just gotta know where to look! If you get a chance, head down to the Myrtle Avenue Station on the J/Z line.

The London subway system has a decoy house too! I think I read that NYC has more subway stops than any other system.

The one in London is at 23 and 24, Leinster Gardens, although it's just a facade (no equipment room or emergency exit) to plug a gap left after construction of the line passing underneath. The original line of the system, the Metropolitan Railway from Bishop's Road, Paddington to Farringdon (Street) is by far the oldest in the world: it opened in 1863!

I rode the subways from the 1960s to the 1980s; the fare was 20-cents when i started. I moved away and would like to ride the extension to Javits Center. but now I live too far away!

Was there in September. Weather was glorious . Returning home to UK gave our 7 day Metrocards with three days credit left (and a tip) to wheelchair pusher at JFK which was well received.Your advice served us well especially the zip code tip at the Metro machine. Stayed in Brooklyn and used subway every day including the air train on last day. Found the food hall at Grand Central excellent for good lunch at good prices. Eat just before mid day before the crowds arrive.

FYI, the MetroCard hacks are no longer accurate. They were based on an 11% bonus for purchases of at least $5.50, and that bonus no longer exists ( it was reduced to 5% before being eliminated altogether). Eleven rides will now cost you $30.25. However, if you know you’ll pay for at least 13 trips a week (7 days) or at least 47 trips a month (30 days) via subway/local bus, buy a 7-day or 30-day unlimited ride card for $33 or $127 and “renew” it every week/month.

A tip on when you are going from Coney Island to the Port Authority so you don't have to go through that very long tunnel connection at time square (if you would take the N train). Instead take the D train and transfer to the A train at Washington Square as the platform for the A train is just above the D train platform and you can take the elevator as well. You can take this idea as well for going to Penn Station. Both stations the A train goes right into the subway level of the PABT and Penn Station.

i have known bout B/Q art-ride from DeKlab for years.... thank you for including it on your list. what would really be impressive (& maybe time consuming) is a subway hack that tells you what subway car & door to stand in that either gets you out the station fast or transfer between lines on different levels...

On the London underground system, there are similar fake buildings to the 'Decoy house' in Brooklyn Heights. Their street addresses are 23 and 24 Leinster Gardens and they also adjoin properties worth millions.
