[@kobyschechter8163]

You guys didn’t sneak in at all Lmao. I’ve ridden the 6 train around the loop a few times and the subway conductors are very nice about letting me do it. I got the chance to actually stand on the platform in August 2019 with the NY Transit Museum LEGALLY. It was ten minutes in my life that I’ll remember FOREVER.

[@CamPalinSmith]

I mean, this is a video by BuzzFeed. You can't be expecting actual quality from them.

[@scubadiva666]

I came here to say this, since I've taken the Transit Museum tour twice-which included an informative above-ground walking tour immediately before the tour; I also regularly ride the 6 train around the bend from downtown to uptown, although visibility of the station is ridiculously poor. I'm more interested to see the now-closed lower-level City Hall station on the N line going out to Brooklyn Heights, since you can actually see the station by looking down through the locked gate. I'd love to visit the 18th street station on the 6 train, since that station was closed in the 40s; that's one I've only experienced by pressing my nose to the window when the 4 or 5 train slows just before it reaches the Union Square station.

[@TheNakedNYC]

New York Transit Museum has Old City Hall tour. Old City Hall station tours begin above ground with a historical walk in the area, followed by a visit to the station itself. Tours last 90 minutes and tickets cost $50 per person.

It's not even that big of a deal, a lot of people ride the train through that loop, only every now and then people are told to get off, which almost never happens since when the trains are taken out of service it's in the Bronx.

[@over00lordunknown12]

+Jacob Carlson Um... I guess in the sense of legality, yes, but they opened the door which says not to, and they have a rule that says you cannot be on the train past the last stop, so, no, this is not "perfectly allowed"... XD

[@Redbeard_1]

So as the train is going around are they going slow enough to jump off to explore around I guess the only bad thing about it is you have no way of getting back out unless you wait for the train to leave and then follow the track or tunnel to the next open area... but I guess if you try that you might get arrested

[@jadajohnson4492]

More like "We briefly rode past New York's abandoned train station"

[@Ronwixziv]

My father worked for the MTA for over 20 years - There IS a way in. Every station has "escape tunnels" that lead to the street. You would need to find one of those. People pass them unknowingly every day. Find the "emergency escape exit", and you will have access to the station.

[@HereBeBarr]

Great video . I wouldn't say smuggled is the right word though.. This little trick is well known by many New Yorkers, I even made a vlog about this at the end of the winter. The conductor generally doesnt' care if you stay on the train.. Now if you had hopped off the train and walked around the abandoned station yourself, THAT would have been interesting.

Yeah not to mention they didn't do anything illegal knowing MTA would fine them because there are other urban explorers who've gotten in.

[@bxdanny]

Correct. Staying on the 6 train while it loops around through the old station is completely legal. They even changed the announcements at Brooklyn Bridge (on the newer R-142(a) trains that have automated announcements) to say something like "This is the last downtown stop on this train. The next stop is Brooklyn Bridge-City Hall on the uptown side." It is the only line where the announcements at the last stop don't say "Everyone please leave the train." They used to say that, but the MTA responded to pressure and changed them.

When I worked for Transit Authority summer program, they took on tour which included the City Hall train stop. We were able to stay on train as the 6 train was getting ready to go back uptown. Like you mentioned there is large gap between train and old platform. It looked really nice

Hobbesfield It's already a thing within the KZbin community. It's called urban exploration. A lot of these abandoned places are on private property. Some of my favorite channels are The Proper People. This is Dan Bell. and Exploring with Josh.

Since you guys are NYC based, you guys should go to the abandoned Seaview Asylum in Staten Island :^). Staten Island is gross and it totally sucks but it's well worth the trip, this is the asylum that season 2 of AHS was based off of!

Dude - everyone knows (in the area) the 6 train loops around the old City Hall station to go uptown. And they have tours. Now, never mind that dopey station. The 18th Street abandoned station further uptown on the Lex is the real deal. More surprised the train doors weren't locked... BuzzFeed Blew.

the buzzfeed video about this station that I watched before this one.. really sucked. they had a guided tour into the station, but didn't show much more than what can already be seen in pictures. an elevator and a door to the train car.

[@chrismhp]

For one the Proper People did avoid going to this abandoned station. They explained this in one of their vlogs in NYC where they also rode the 6 train loop to see it. People need to wisen up. When it comes to subway stations, you are asking to get yourself killed unless you take an official tour or find an explorer who know the schedules and tracks in and out. Even then, there are always delays and hiccups in the schedule, express trains etc. so your safety is still not even guaranteed even if you know what you're doing. Steve Duncan is one of those experienced explorers, and his video they were not far from getting flattened.

Lol this is funny why don't you guys just do one of the transit museum tours they do for this station and you can actually go walk this station legally? They supposedly do about 16 tours a year and tickets are $50 bucks but act quickly as tickets sell out fast. I have seen photos down there but no video is allowed I guess hut all you have to do is pretend your taking photos and record video.

[@marinadela1361]

*you're

[@AlbatrossXYZ]

This feels cooler lol

[@amightysailingman]

It's $50 for the tour, but you have to be a Transit Museum member to sign up. That's another $60, for a total of $110 per person. I don't want it that badly.

I usually just watch unsolved and worth it but Buzzfeed could actually make a series out of this that I'd enjoy as well. Yes, there are other youtube channels that do these types of videos but it wouldn't hurt to have another and to have actual journalists research and discover these places for our entertainment. It's interesting, to say the least. I really enjoyed this video. Good job, guys.

[@matthewrobar7360]

[@JJ-Malone]

That's like saying I went to Germany but infact only flew OVER Germany in a plane to go to a different country lol. You didn't technically smuggle yourselves into City Hall Station. I feel I just wasted several minutes watching a video I expected to see you walk around the old station.

[@WitchidWitchid]

Well then, perhaps you can suggest how they would get in there ? One way would be to get off the train at Brooklyn bridge and go down on the tracks and walk to the old station. But there is a good change you'll get arrested or worst, run over.I guess you can ride the train through the loop and then go between cars and jump off onto the platform but if you slip or don;t make it you may very well be killed. The only safe and legal way is to sign up for a transit museum tour.

[@sorrowandsufferin924]

@@WitchidWitchid I don't think it's likely to get run over, not if you do it right. You saw how short the distance is, it's probably running distance. If you're unsure, pull of this "trick" a couple times and if you're still not sure you can make it, don't do it. Otherwise, intercept at Brooklyn bridge in what interval the trains come through. I'm guessing it's like 4 or 6 minutes, so you should be fine. Get off the train at Brooklyn bridge, get onto the tracks and run to City Hall. When you wanna leave, wait for a train so you have the whole interval to get back. Then run back over the tracks. Easy as that. But seeing as a) it's City Hall Subway Station and b) the finale of Fantastic Beasts and where to find them was filmed there, there are probably tours...
