Incredible. So pumped for this series
OMNY now is a rolling 7days and 30days fare capping.
IM PUMPED FOR UR GEAR
oh it ended on november 1
6:12 don't forget the 7 train! Goes east/west along 42nd street. Arguably the best line in the system.
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!
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.
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. ❤
❤@@IlDiavolo2515
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 😅
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.
the quality of this video is amazing it's super informative I even feel like I could conquerer the NYC subway
Wow thank you!
The sound design and animations in this one were really damn good, nice work Daniel!
Thanks so much! 🙏🏻🙏🏻
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.
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
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 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 love your animation of the 1, 2 and 3 trains. Very clear and also beautiful!
This is FANTASTIC. Super informative. I’ll be sharing this with family. Looking forward to many more vids!
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 👨💻
I have lived in NYC and Boston and it’s awesome to learn these two cities through your video!
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.
I love the history of maps and deep dives into them and am excited to see more!
Love thissss! It makes using the subway seem so easy, can’t wait to go to ny again
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 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.
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!
Stumbled on your short from this vid today and now I’m a new sub. Cool stuff Daniel!
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!
Thanks for the information! So many useful tips for my next trip to the big apple!
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 💸
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 format and execution, subbed.
Hell yes! I love this. So helpful for non New Yorkers
AWESOME videos dude! You're going to be big no doubt. The nerds like me love this content.
Discovered your map explainers yesterday. Right up my interest alley!
Very cool series, I can’t wait to see the rest!
I like the fact that you have your own channel now and I still like your way to explain
Just found your work! Very excited to watch more, your content is exactly what I needed!
Loved your recent Boston video! Very excited to see more map videos from you!
Thank u!! They are in the works! 🧑💻
Helpful information, can’t wait for the series!!
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!
i’d always go to nyc w my wife who was my gf at the time for her fathers chemo and i remember being comfortable traveling on the subway in queens but once we got to the grand central i remember being so overwhelmed
this is one of the best explainers of mta ive seen
Awesome video! I have lived in NYC for my whole entire life (born and raised), this video explains it very well.
Thanks so much!
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 📝
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!
So excited for this new series and your channel!
Thank you sm!! I am too 😊
This really helps to understand the NYC subway rules
Always learning something about NYC from you daniel even after all these years!!!
did daniel pay your uber bill
@chuppl stay out of this
Great stuff. Thanks for doing this.
Loooove love loving this series on NY!!
Hey man, just recently found your content cause of your latest Boston video, and everything else you do is great as well. Keep up the great work!
Thank you so much!
Very clear, loved this video
Great explanation of the system. Thanks!
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!
Watched a few of these. This was the easiest to understand and had the least bloat info. Thanks! 🤙🏽
Thanks so much!! I’m so glad it was helpful!
Love learning about new cities
Same! You’re in the right spot
Going to New York for the first time this weekend, this was super helpful!

Thank u sm 😭🙏🏻🙏🏻
I am from Dubai but still watched it till the end because of the way you presented it!
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.
Ooh, this was so informative. And as always, your map animations are top class 🚀
Thank you Snehal! That means a lot
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 🤝
This channel has such fantastic content.
Recently had a friend move to NY this will help a lot when I go visit!
I also love maps. You're a great find!
Love the maps segments... Great info!
Thank you! Glad you like them!
Incredibly useful video! Don't even want to bring up how many times I entered the station on the wrong side of the street my first time in New York...
I’m so glad! Thank you! Haha I’ve done the same
this is such a good quality video, you’ll definitely become more popular as time goes on!
Thank u sm! I hope so 🤞🏼🤞🏼
So so happy I stumbled upon this video! Traveling to the Big Apple is exciting but, extremely intimidating. I was planning on only taking an Uber to and from where we need to go and what we would like to see and I was going to avoid the subway at all cost. This has decoded a lot of the confusion for me. Looks like I'll get to experience the subway after all and can't wait to see what it's like!
I’m so glad you found it helpful! Have a fun and safe trip and each a slice of pizza for me 🍕
I'm liking this series!
Can't wait for the new series and nice haircut!
Dude, the subway is awesome. Thanks for this. Out in CA we are sorely lacking in transit. Love NYC!
I agree!! And thank you!
Great explanation! Will be showing to my friends before our trip next year. ☺️
Thank u! Hope it helps!
So glad this video exists!
I’m glad it’s helpful!
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!
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!
This is actually so helpful! Wish I saw this before I went to New York.
I’m so glad! I wish u had too lol
Excellent video! Very clear and well animated.
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it!
