Incredible. So pumped for this series

IM PUMPED FOR UR GEAR
oh it ended on november 1
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!
I’m so glad!! Yeah, I always hope these will be interesting to anyone - whether or not they plan on visiting. Thanks for your support!
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 😅
SAME. Even after paying my fair haha
It's not rocket science. The signs say "downtown only". Not hard to figure out. ❤

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.
Hahaha I’m so glad
Did we ask? No
Does @@WakandaleezaRazz have to be a dick for no reason? Yes.
I’m a train nerd I get it
as an industrial engineer that wants to work in public transit, i love seeing videos like these!
I’m so glad! Thanks!
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.
Yess I agree!!
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.
I feel the same hahah thank u!
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
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.
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Excited to try it next time. I always mess up the ticket swipe at the turnstiles 😅
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 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.
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
Everyone who moves to NYC needs to watch this video. I wish this was available when I first started traveling to NY. Thank you. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Thank u so much! I’m glad it was helpful!
My borough is on a peninsula
I love your animation of the 1, 2 and 3 trains. Very clear and also beautiful!
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.
This is FANTASTIC. Super informative. I’ll be sharing this with family. Looking forward to many more vids!
I just left NYC and saw your video on the airplane. I absolutely loved the NYC subway. It was easy to navigate and very entertaining. We stayed in the UWS, used Omni pay feature the entire time. Very seamless, loved the express trains. Basically used the 1,2,3 the entire time.
This is the best video about New York subway among all. I watched 5 others (I am in my "I want to go to New York" period) and this one is crazy good.
What a great update to your older video on BT! So excited for all new things on this channel!
Thank u sm!! I’ve got a lot in the works 👨💻
Living in NYC, I like the subway. 1st few times using it was a bit confusing but once getting used to it it's very simple. Thanks so much, I love your videos♥
Yeah it takes a little time to get used to! And thank you!!
I have lived in NYC and Boston and it’s awesome to learn these two cities through your video!
I love the history of maps and deep dives into them and am excited to see more!
Hell yes! I love this. So helpful for non New Yorkers
Love thissss! It makes using the subway seem so easy, can’t wait to go to ny again
the quality of this video is amazing it's super informative I even feel like I could conquerer the NYC subway
Wow thank you!
Thanks for the information! So many useful tips for my next trip to the big apple!
Very cool series, I can’t wait to see the rest!
The sound design and animations in this one were really damn good, nice work Daniel!
Thanks so much! 🙏🏻🙏🏻
I love this video! As a frequent traveler to NY, I still get a bit overwhelmed by the MTA subway.
This is a great cheat sheet!
Thanks! I’m so glad it’s helpful!
Helpful information, can’t wait for the series!!
Also your channel makes me feel so much better about spending hours looking at maps/google maps. I’m not the only one 😅
Awesome video! I have lived in NYC for my whole entire life (born and raised), this video explains it very well.
Thanks so much!
Only been to New York once and only for a couple of days (want to go back for a longer trip some day); I took one look at the map, noped out of there and gained a new appreciation for the London Underground map!
Well done! I think your information is very useful! I love the ones where you give some of the history of the city you are in.
Makes traveling so much easier!
Ah thank you so much! I do my best to make them useful so that means so much!
Discovered your map explainers yesterday. Right up my interest alley!
Loved your recent Boston video! Very excited to see more map videos from you!
Thank u!! They are in the works! 🧑💻
I don't have any plans on visiting NYC but if I accidentally end up there at least now I'll know how to get around. Great video all around!
I’ve been coming to NYC and riding the subway for years. And I still find it confusing. I’ve got to say that your video provides the clearest instructions I’ve seen yet. Kudos!
Just found your work! Very excited to watch more, your content is exactly what I needed!
Love your videos! And thanks Gravel
I know you just did a video on Boston, but I'd love to see you cover the history of Boston's transit, one of the oldest subway lines, and lots of interesting topics to cover. I love seeing transit related videos like this, 😄.
I think that would be so interesting! On my list 📝
love love loved this
Love love love you
So glad this video exists!
I’m glad it’s helpful!
Absolutely loved the video! This is my second video from your channel and I am absolutely hooked! Keep up the city, infrastructure and geography content.
Thank u so much! More on the way!
Great explanation of the system. Thanks!
I really want to take my daughter and husband to NYC and this video is the most informative and in depth one on the internet.
Love learning about new cities
Same! You’re in the right spot
Loooove love loving this series on NY!!
Always learning something about NYC from you daniel even after all these years!!!
did daniel pay your uber bill
@chuppl stay out of this
Well done. Clear concise and enjoyable. Thank you!
So excited for this new series and your channel!
Thank you sm!! I am too 😊
This really helps to understand the NYC subway rules
I like the fact that you have your own channel now and I still like your way to explain
Recently had a friend move to NY this will help a lot when I go visit!
Ooh, this was so informative. And as always, your map animations are top class 🚀
Thank you Snehal! That means a lot
This video was the perfect explanation of how the system works. I hope this video helps many more in the future keep up the good work!
Btw loved the little race between you and your friend lol
RIP $30
Thank u so much! Hahaha yeah RIP $30 💸
This has to be one of the best breakdowns of the NYC subway system on youtube. You answered a bunch of questions I had about the system that even local New Yorkers found s difficult to explain in a simple manner like how to easily identify an express train vs local and where to identify it on the map. The platform crossing tip was also really helpful. I love reading maps so my favorite part was the red line breakdown - it made understanding the city easier when focused on only one line at a time. Could you make a video breaking down all the color lines individually like how you did with the 123 lines?
this is one of the best explainers of mta ive seen
Great video I've traveled the subways for years up until I learned to drive and moved away. I recently came to Manhattan and used the OMI at the turnstile works great. I also didn't know how it worked for the rides again thank you.
Also came from tiktok, and I found this at the perfect time - I’ll be visiting NYC later this month for the first time, so this was super helpful! Thank you!
This is so sick! I love the subway!
Great format and execution, subbed.
Love your videos man!
Great explanation! Will be showing to my friends before our trip next year. ☺️
Thank u! Hope it helps!
such helpful video for tourist and visitors thank you for the content dan
I’m glad u like it! Thank u!
Traveling soon, most helpful video I’ve watched
I also love maps. You're a great find!
Great stuff. Thanks for doing this.
Glad for this series! Hope to see more of this. Buenos Aires subway is really interesting to make a video about it! 🙌🇦🇷
Ooh good idea! Thank u!
Nicely done, and lots of fun info
Nice looking out, thanks
I've always been obsested with maps of cities and this is super cool
Well you’re in good company here. A lot more on the way 🤝
Thank you for this knowledge transfer video.
Thank you!!! 🎉 going to take my husband on a surprise anniversary trip to NYC this weekend (OUR ANNIVERSARY IS NOVEMBER 1ST) ... HE HAS NEVER BEEN AND THIS HAS BEEN ON HIS BUCKET LIST! THIS WILL PROVE TO BE VERY HELPFUL. Thank you for this content ❤ Liked and subscribed 💜 💕

Going to New York for the first time this weekend, this was super helpful!
Have such a good trip!
Love the maps segments... Great info!
Thank you! Glad you like them!
Native NYCer here, ngl, it always confuses me when people from London say our system is too complicated. It all seems super simple to understand tbh.
Haha ur one of the lucky ones to understand it.
Don’t often use YT, but couldn’t be happier to stay here for content like this. Keep it up, would love to see a full length city-based documentary series!
Wow thank you!! More to come for sure!
Major inspiration for all public transportation enthusiasts!
Can't wait for the new series and nice haircut!
I am from Dubai but still watched it till the end because of the way you presented it!
yeah these videos are absolutely steez. would love the travel bagzzz
well .... this video makes me appreciate the Seoul subway system so much more haha.. I've only used NYC Subway once and managed, but wow ... I kinda just went through it based off my experience in Seoul and I never realized how much more complex it is. Guess I got lucky~
I'm liking this series!
buying gravel immediately, so good. and loving these videos 🫡
Thank u sm 😭🙏🏻🙏🏻
I know how to use underground rail systems as i have grown up in london, but this video was so engaging i wayched the whole thing!
