How does the New York subway work? And how do you navigate the New York subway? Unfortunately, navigating NYC subway has a steep learning curve. That is why I put this ultimate video guide to the New York subway together to help guide you through the New York City subway system (especially helpful for tourists). This is the video I wish I had watched when I first visited New York City. Whether you are visiting or moving to New York City, I hope this video saves you a lot of time and frustration. You'll learn a few trivia about the New York City subway (to include NYC subway letters); express and local trains; crosstown, uptown, and downtown trains; how to read the NYC subway map and station signage. Good luck and happy subway riding!

The 9th Ave. Line was an El. The first underground line that is part of the current system is the IRT Broadway Line. Previosly, there was an experimental line using a vaccum.

@@stevefish3124 And for the super history nerds, part of that IRT Broadway line can still be seen in the Times Square station. If you go to the Shuttle to Grand Central and cross over toward the furthest Shuttle platform (or the exit that's over there) and look around, you'll see the walkway goes over some [currently] unused tracks -- a small section of the IRT Broadway line that's a little bit of preserved subway history still on view.

If I could meet you, I would thank you over and over and over for this video. We traveled to New York City from Tennessee and I must’ve watched your video 100 times. Everything you said is spot on and we enjoyed this trip so much more thanks to you. My husband was working while my mom and I “played.” She is 79 and I was 53. This was in the middle of May 2023. I would’ve been so lost without your video. We rode the subway so many times that week. We didn’t get lost at all. Mostly my issue was trying to figure out where to exit the subway and get re-oriented once outside. To anyone reading this, watch this video over and over. Every time, you will grasp something that you may not have grasped before. I sure hope you see my comment because I want you to know how much you helped us enjoy our trip. I could go on and on, but, your video rocks! And so do you!

I cannot fully express how grateful I am for this video. I went to New York last December with my wife and this was a lifesaver. I have never had an easier time using an unfamiliar transit system, much less one of the size and complexity of New York's. The only hiccup we had was getting lost looking for a transfer area when we had to get off the train unexpectedly because it suddenly switched to Express (good thing I at least knew that was a possibility though, thanks to this vid). Fantastic job!

It's been 4 months since we've returned from our Manhattan vacation and wanted to thank you for your video. We rode the subway numerous times and never went down the wrong stairs or took the wrong train. Sometimes we would repeat something you told us so that we would remember as we're pointing/walking, lol. If/When we return, we'll watch again. This was probably the most intimidating part of visiting.

Moving to New York this Thursday, and this is very useful information! I actually lived in Tokyo for two years back in 2017-18, and I've got to say their extremely complex subway and train system seems downright simple compared to this. Seems that the NY subway system is long overdue for some renovation and streamlining, though I understand that it costs a billion dollars to move a sign or something like that haha.

My daughter and I have been to NYC 2 times now. Our first trip last year was great and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The subway signage was very confusing for us when we were there. We took trains traveling opposite of the direction we wanted at least 3 or 4 times. I studied the subway system on Google maps regularly up until our second trip last week. Our trip wasn't as great as last year because of some complications and us having to fly back home early. We didn't take any wrong trains or get lost this time though. We won't have to stand at the platform with me checking for sure we catch the right train now that I know how to read the signage better. I'm going to show this video to my daughter before we take our next trip there. People were we're from always talk negatively about NYC when most of them have never even been there. We love it! As a tourist it's an absolutely amazing city and we look forward to coming back before we even catch our plane back home each time. My daughter and myself have decided we're going to visit regularly.

This video has had some of the best explanations I’ve seen for interpreting signage and general navigation. Too many videos handwave away this confusing aspect of using the system. My one critique is that more information regarding how service changes work and where to find info regarding them would be helpful. You went over one example of a C train suddenly going express, but service changes can certainly get far more convoluted, and can be very confusing to new riders. Overall, very informative video!

Sometimes I'm glad for KZfaq's recommendation algorithms. I'm about to go on my first trip to NY and had watched a video from the MTA about OMNY. Then KZfaq recommended one of your videos. It was very helpful and informative. I'm going to watch as many as I can. Thank you! SUBWAY SUPERHERO

These are the best videos out there on practical tips for NYC. We mastered the subway system on our first day thanks to these videos. I recognize the #6 train there, we rode it the most from near our AirBnB in Kips Bay.

Hi Thea. This thank you is long overdue. Last year, I took a trip to NYC with my family and was doing some research. The first video we watched was the Roosevelt Island video, which was superb. Then, we came across this video, since taking the subway in NYC seemed daunting. Thanks to your wonderful channel, we learned so much about the city and being there made me fall in love with NYC. I've been watching all your videos ever since and I'm so happy to see your channel grow! It's well deserved, your videos are awesome! I'm going to take another trip to NYC later this year, and just want to say thanks for sharing your love and appreciation of such a wonderful place! All the best!

Thank you! It's true. You can travel from UWS to Far Rockaway on the subway. And that's about 27 miles for only $2.75.

Studying this video like my life depends on it. I am planning a trip to New York at the end of September. This is my first time going to New York by myself and I want to get this right so I don't look like a newbie. Thank you for this info. It is so helpful.
