Incredible. So pumped for this series
-
Map explainers always scratch the itch in my brain for some reason. Cities I've never even been to, I love watching maps. I've been to NY a dozen times and can already explain to other people how to use the subway, and yet here I am. So stoked for this whole series!
-
6:12 don't forget the 7 train! Goes east/west along 42nd street. Arguably the best line in the system.
-
The tip about entrances that say “uptown” or “downtown” not having cross-overs is super helpful. I’ve definitely gone down into a station only to have to go back up and cross the street 😅
-
Have I ever been to New York? No. Am I planning to do so in the near future? No. Did I watch this video like I was about to hop on the MTA? Yes.
-
as an industrial engineer that wants to work in public transit, i love seeing videos like these!
-
For his advice on being okay with getting lost or confused — New Yorker here, and I still get lost on the subway sometimes and refer to GPS or map on my phone to reorient myself
-
Oh man a good subway/transit system makes me all romantic.🥰🤣 It’s often one of my favorite things about traveling new places. I love the idea of being able to get around quickly and efficiently without needing to drive somewhere. Just learning about it makes me happy. Thanks Dan! This was really awesome.
-
Omg! First time someone explains the uptown/downtown entrances and the express trains in a way that makes sense. ❤😅 I wonder if I could use that same logic for the G train because in some stops, you do have to enter the correct entrance. I've always loved the Subway map. The way it's superimposed with the geography is very helpful to asses distances, and I like how it marks important landmarks serving as a basic visitors guide.

I visited NYC in 2015 and getting around via the subway was so fast and cheap (compared to taxis). And the system was quite easy to navigate considering how complex it is.
-
Everyone who moves to NYC needs to watch this video. I wish this was available when I first started traveling to NY. Thank you. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
-
Tbh the Omni system is a game changer and makes it sooo much easier to ride. 10/10 video. Visiting NY right now for the thousandth time and this video clarified a lot for me.
-
I always saw the NYC map to be incredibly complex at first, but this video explained things so well. Different lines in different branches act as local trains makes a lot of sense
-
I found New Yorkers to be very helpful and friendly when we visited a few years ago. They were more than happy to help figure out the subway and how to get to certain places.
-
The sound design and animations in this one were really damn good, nice work Daniel!
-
Been living in New York for over five years now and still managed to learn something new, including trains running on the right side of the road like cars and express trains running in the middle of the platform. Thanks for the tips.
-
I love your animation of the 1, 2 and 3 trains. Very clear and also beautiful!
-
the quality of this video is amazing it's super informative I even feel like I could conquerer the NYC subway
-
