Least confusing of all subway videos I’ve viewed so far! Thank you.
Bonjour Katherine, vos explications claires, complètes et surtout données avec générosité m'ont tellement aidée. J'en avais regardé d'autres mais aucun ne m'éclaircissait tout ce que, oui, il faut savoir au sujet du métro de New York. MERCI MERCI.
Make a video on how to reorient your location after u exit from subway station.
I was thinking about the NYC Metro card & the subway system yesterday and then this video pops up. What a coincidence. Thanks for the tips! 👍
Glad that you enjoyed the video, Judi. Hopefully, you can check out our virtual tours of NYC czcams.com/play/PLpNEdLF6RWV3fGRem85gniML7tGLsJ3j1.html.
8:33 take that suggestion with a grain of salt: Conductors are usually (as expected) poking their heads out to make sure everybody is standing clear of the doors and able to move along aka no time for small talk. If you do ask, ask straight forward or get to the point and you'll probably get the answer you need. They're no experts, I've gotten "not sure" or "I don't know" or "ask the booth" plenty of times.
as a Queens kid born n raised, this was my only "yeah but" point i had to call out. Rest of the video and Katherine are great tho! 👍
To be fair, we aren't recommending small talk. We mention this as a way to know for sure which direction the train is going.
@@FreeToursbyFootNewYorkWalks no, of course I know you guys weren’t recommending small talk at all lol I was just saying that for the viewers as a tip b/c there are the ones that’ll ask everything but “which way” and such 👍🏻
This subway is so fraking complex (moreso that the subway system here in Toronto) that I'd need a GPS device to find my way (in fact, that's what I think that I'll do *_if_* I ever visit New York on my own.)
It's pretty handy that they have mosaics on the tiled walls of stations to indicate which station you are at too. If you didn't hear the automatic voice announcing the station or the operator announcing the station, just look out the window and see what station you are at on the wall.
I can never hear the announcements because of bad speakers and/or loud conversations. Some trains have LED readouts of the stops, some have a small map with the destination lit up and some have nothing at all.
I'm from a very small Midwest city, and NYC is very intimidating.
Thanks! I will be back in the city in September. Made an error last time I was there. Got some help and got back on track to the right destination.
Great video Catherine, thank you ⭐️

Is it correct that subway trains follow the direction of traffic flow? So if you want to head downtown enter the subway on the side of the road (if two way) where the traffic is heading downtown and vice versa.
Train lines with a diamond border around the letter are express.. be careful.
Good tip. We should have mentioned that.
OK, me and my daughter are looking at coming 4. A weekend flying into j. F. K.
And flying back out of j. FK also using the Subway while we are in town to get down to the Statue of Liberty and other places in Manhattan. Can you tell me what? Is the best way to use the Long Island Expressway train?
To get to penn station end, how to set up the cost on the metro card for all of that, 42 people
What are the names of the apps that don't require wifi connection?
How do you pay for subway?
