For a group of people who claim to care about transit options and carbon usage, you all sure do like to simply use transit for no other reason other than CLICKS. Meanwhile, I only drive a car when I need to. Maybe I'm doing this wrong and should start taking rides on PT just for the fun of it and watch my carbon footprint really take off to new heights and monetize my unnecessary travels through videos on KZfaq.

Every time the camera cuts to The Professionals, they’re all chilled out, having a drink, relaxing, living their best lives. Such an oasis of calm.

​​"It's 10.6 miles to Manhattan, our phones are low on battery, it's almost dark, and we're wearing sunglasses."

Next time: Mile High in Transit - finding the most efficient transit route to Colorado

The "script meeting" post-credits scene...golden. Alex and Jackson just going up the steps to a random house, while the people in the house were like 👁👄👁. The Quadropods just splitting themselves apart to do their own race within the Great Race....race-ception and a wild idea, but I like their style! Adam from Jet Lag would be so proud of the Philadelphia NIMBYs wearing disguises! And everybody gangsta till Alex, Miles, and Jackson drop a new song called The Station's in Sight, though all three of you singing Going Underground was a great way to honor your team's namesake! I Remember the Rockaways is so good! Combining your and Jackson's musical talent with diners and transit, is why this channel is so special! Amazing job with the editing and music as usual! And yeah, Aqueduct Racetrack is quite the unique station! The racetrack opened in 1894, however the station wouldn't open until 1959, five years after the NY Racing Association chose to upgrade the racetrack because of its proximity to the line. At first it was open for just race days and on the start of service in September 1959, extra-fare "Aqueduct Special" trains ran nonstop from 42nd Street-PABT until it crossed over to the northbound platform to discharge passengers at the racetrack. The specials were replaced by JFK Express service, before service at the station was altogether discontinued in 1990. The station reopened in 1997 but closed again between 2011 and 2013 to give access to the Resorts World casino and install elevators.

The next Great Race idea: “The Great Race to Orlando” - Brightline - Amtrak - Greyhound - Megabus - Flixbus - Southwest - American - Delta Like the Great Race to New York but at a bigger scale and with a corridor that’s got a lot of transit options!

The Mister Softee music playing while Jordan is cussing everyone out OMG that's too funny

Rocz and June putting on disguises to ride the ferry like "Sometimes my genius is...it's almost frightening" The scene of Jordan's arrival to the finish line was just perfect. The ice cream truck stopping its music right after Jordan cursed at it, the distant "JOOOORDYCAAAKES", Miles using the clip from the beginning of the race, Jordan being a great tipper, Jeremy kept saying "YES" as Jordan explained the big detour he took, Jordan screaming after Jeremy kept saying "YES", and then to top it all off, "I'm not last, okay so I won"...Jordan logic is the best logic! But hey, at least the taxi beat the LIRR despite that detour! The stained-glass beach-themed art at Beach 90th Street is cool, made by Michael Miller in 2011! The Holland part on the Beach-90th signs refer to Michael P. Holland who was one of the early developers in the area. The station was meant to serve his Holland Hotel. That bridge Team Professionals went under on the ferry is the Marine Parkway-Gil Hodges Memorial Bridge which opened in July 1937. It's a vertical-lift bridge, meaning the bridge can be lifted in case a vessel wants to pass beneath. The bridge's center span can be raised to a height of 150 feet or 46 meters to do so. It was built by the American Bridge Company (who also helped build the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge, Chrysler Building, and Empire State Building) cost 10 million dollars to build, or over 200 million dollars in 2024 dollars!

To be fair on the Philadelphia NIMBYs, that type of urban ferry service is sometimes known as a Water Taxi.

Thank you for another episodes of transit/transportation nerds having zany fun, with original music, and teaching all of us of the good and bad of public transit.

"If you see something suspicious in the station..." (Jordan reaches the top the stairs and makes his grand entrance) What an absolute legend ✨✨

The fact that the Philly Nimbys took a “water taxi” is hilarious. Well scripted! Happy Valentines too!

This series is literally peak entertainment. The drama. The suspense. The diversity of transit options. It just keeps going!!!! 10/10 this is peak content

"So you guys are gonna take a cab to Manhattan" "No, I don't think we will"

Jackson's out here killing it with the music! Also, can't miss Blair, Marc, and Barrett living their best lives 🥂

Also. Jordan was a trooper with those endless miles of stairs. Good on you man.

“With all due respect, wtf happened” is a big mood.

NGL, I come to "Miles in Transit" for the slapping tunes. Seriously, the music is awesome. Y'all got some talent! OK. Who is Evil Pixel Face pulling the strings? CONSPIRACY!

"we can take an airbus" me who is sane: do it

This is my only Valentine’s Day plan and you know what? I’m quite happy with that.

I love how the "I Remember the Rockaways" theme ends suddenly, with no resolution. Plus all of the other Team JAM vocals #Arty :) Can't wait for the end result of the race!

Better than the Amazing Race. Jordan's expression are priceless.

"OMNY CARDS OUT!!" "That's someone's house..." I'm dying 😭

I'm stoked there's a race back, as I wasn't ready for this adventure to be over.

"Babe it's Valentine's Day, what time are you taking me to the $250 steak house?" "Not tonight chick, Episode 3 of the Great Race to Rockaway Beach is premiering!" * she breaks up with me *

Rockaway song at 22:35 is a solid Vampire Weekend deep cut nice job!

Love this! I remember my friends and I doing this when we were younger. We used to race to Coney Island from the very top of The Bronx. Another thing we did was to take all the train lines. We all had to come up with an individual strategy to take all trains in the shortest amount of time. But all of this was over 20 years ago. But how come you'll didn't meet at Beach 116th Street? There are more things happening over there.

As a fan of scripted sports, I absolutely LOVED the post-credits bit.

This video made me miss my college days. Such simple times. Good job Miles ❤

"That's someone's house!"

Always appreciate the musical stylings of Jackson & Miles 🎵🎶🎵

I think one of my favourite things about this series is how the helicopter team were FOURTH. Worst for the environment and not even in the Top 3 (which were all public transit teams). So, I guess this is a slap to car-centric ideologies. Also, because you mentioned that Geoff video I discovered you from, I was expecting a "See it. Say it. Sorted." after the "If you see something suspicious..." announcement. Hahahaha !

When you were with Geoff, you guys came on the weekend. On weekends and holidays during the summer, we run the Shuttle all the way up to Rockaway Blvd (to meet the Lefferts Blvd As) with full length trains with a full crew. Rest of the year it’s single units in One Person Train Operation.

still cannot believe my grandma's apartment building in Rockaway is in the background of a Miles in Transit video. I'm claiming this as my 15 minutes of fame because I don't think my grandma knows what youtube is.

Another banger video as per usual! Also loved the Rockaway song

You’re playing that song on keys was the highlight of the series! Actually, I’m enjoying the whole thing.

Can't wait! The best thing to do on Valentine's Day is to watch this!

Love all of this, love your song, love seeing all of you having fun. So many happy times and wonderful friends with appreciation for you, your transit gifts, and good will. You are so fortunate and it’s so refreshing to watch.

I think this was the best episode yet.

Very funny to see the car guy mad that a bunch of transit loving college-age kids and 30-something malcontents having fun racing around the city 😂

This whole thing is hilarious but was ROFLMAO at the post-credits meta at the end

"thats someoneones house!!!" made me lose it

i remember the rockaways 💔💔💔 what a tune

finally jordan doesnt lose one of these races! vindication! amazing video as always, such a fun group of people

"basically, I won." (The Jam's "Disguises" stuck in my head now)

The next Great Race idea: "The Great Race to Lobstah" (From Boston) Pick like 4-5: - Downeaster - Greyhound - Megabus (first option in Google Maps) - Concord Coach ? (second option in Google Maps) - The Ferries (there's a lot of them) - Fishing Charter/Sailboat? - Plane to the Portland International "Jetport" First team to Portland, ME (or Maine city of your choosing) wins

Glad I discovered your channel and having fun with the MTA (as a long time New Yorker, it’s anything but that! 😄🤣). Look forward to more adventures from you and the group! Wish I could tag along! 😎👍🏼

I enjoy everyone here but I'm mostly just here for Rocz

Thanks for the video! It was great!

I can’t wait to see this later this afternoon. Right now, I work. Happy Valentine’s Day Everyone & Miles.

I remember when a group of my favourite weird people raced to the Rockaways and back.

THE PUBLIC GETS WHAT THE PUBLIC WANTS. (the answer ofcourse is more miles in transit content and jackson betz music magic)

In the “Script Meeting” you forgot to tell the guy who “rides the boat” not to film anything between the boat and the finish line. So that they could actually get there way early, stop at Coney Island, ride some rides, eat at Nathans and catch an Uber to the finish line 😉

Nathan and Henry are adorable

Excellent video. Great editing/visuals on this one

This episode has everything I've been looking for... Sunsets!

Justin reminds me so much of my friend Adam. Same vibe, sense of humor, even the same laugh.

Awesome video as always!

7:14 Jordan Math: I’m not last so therefore I won

This is just SO DAMN GOOD!

How do local buses beat a taxi?!! That was some horrendous wayfinding by the cab driver!😲 Wonder who would have won if that group had a good driver taking the fastest route.

I SEE WHAT YOU DID WITH THE AD BREAK AT 12:39 CABRÓN Watched it in full out of comedic spite xd

That Broadway Junction transfer is evil

Honestly, this is my favourite thing on yt right now.

Hi Miles, love your videos, trip reports and awesome friends! Regarding the the Rules and Teams that got saddled with the Taxi: We saw Jordan hail successfully hail a cab because he was in Midtown Manhattan near the UN Building! Philly NIMBY’s only hope was to call dispatch for a yellow cab, and their phone batteries were dead and pay phones no longer exist! Were the Philly NIMBY team barred from using all buses and trains, thus they weren’t able to head to JFK to hire an airport taxi queued up and head to Manhattan? Were Uber, Lyft and other Rideshare deemed “not Taxi Cabs, thus verboten?” I guess a lot of it is Justin going Rogue and arguing that the NYC Ferry is also known as a “Water Taxi” did he at least hail a cab near the South ferry terminal near Wall Street?

Love this series!😃

really appreciated what very well could’ve been an unreleased vampire weekend track playing over the travel montage

You have a higher chance on now being able to ride the whole rail system down here in cleveland because the green/blue/waterfront line is back!

cant wait!

This series has become a highlight of my week! Please tell me this coming summer you will have a second edition of the teams racing to a far off location! Please do City Island! lol WAIT THIS IS SCRIPTED?! NOOOOO! LOL

Can't wait to sit down to a nice steak dinner with the wife and watch this for Valentine's Day. Nothing says romance like Rocz talking about transit (and also all of the other teams)

these miles songs live rent free in my head

"I'm not counting down " 😂 ✌🏾

The Jam cover intensifies

i love this so much

You gotta get a spotify account, the rockaways song was next level!

Jordan is a Mood. Like All Of Them. But Primarily Anger.

Thank you for the disclaimer at the end, I was about to get into a tizzy.

killer tunes

I wasn't sure you could top the musical interlude from the last Great Race, but I think this one might be even more impressive! Great series.

gotta sing Paul Weller songs with the accent. them's the rules

The Quadropods Deviation and the Philadelphia NIMBY's Deviation Is needed more in these races. More Parody! FUND DA MENT TALS

I won’t miss this I swear

I luv Justin Roczniak - fact. I won't tell Justin what to do, but I will listen to what he wants.......over dinner...... my treat 😉

I actually liked your decimation of the jam

Anyone else want to see Miles on Jet Lag?

28:48 Miles confirmed Jam appreciator LFGGGGG!!!

19:36 I feel I can finally make peace with jordan

That Whitney Rose sweater is great

how did i know the moment roz drew taxi he just wasn't going to do it. To be fair i don't blame him

Rockaways to Manhattan via Local bus - Q52 SBS to Q60 to Q32

Gotta love the thrills and drama of this semi-controlled bedlam. I don't fault the NIMBYs for their return choice. Jordan will NEVER be a loser. Also, I think you need to invite a team who will ride bicycles for the next Great Race destination. I'm pretty sure this could have been done in about an hour on a bike. This could get you more visibility to new viewers by teaming up with a fellow KZfaqr/ bike enthusiast - at least think about it. Oh yeah, and I'd love to see the three faces of Nathan on a T-shirt. Thanks for sharing!

lol at automated captioning at 20:12 where it says "who describes himself as in his own words a [ __ ] for the KZfaq..."

NYC in summer

*THAT’S SOMEONE’S HOUSE*

It might take all day, but a race from The Cloisters down to the Conference House in Tottenville! (You can have different train and bus routes to the actual connections into the island like the Ferry, or the busses you can grab in Bay Ridge) or make it a free for all to get to Staten Island, and then have everyone use specific routes down to Tottenville.)

17:54 new yorkers running for their train even though theres another one in 2 minutes

"Taxi" 😂

Next time: The Great Race to Parliament Hill

The 📣 stations 📣 in 📣 sight 📣 16:38
