Joan Lunden Behind Closed Doors: NYC Subway System

[@plmokm33]

That very last scene dates it pretty well.

been trying to find out what year this program was and haven't seen anything mentioned on imdb or wikipedia. saw an r142a at 9:40 there, which entered service on 11-02-2000, so i'd say this aired sometime in early 2001. i don't need to mention why it wouldn't be much later than that.

This was a nice show about my first favorite place, the subway. New York City Transit has became a little modern. The job of maintaining and operating a large-scale rapid transit system is a tall order that requires lots of time and effort to accomplish accurately. Transit workers are The Best People Around who roll the big wheels abound. Many of the methods of work have changed during the past five years. This video is quite old.

COVID-19 has forever changed the MTA; their trains no longer run 24/7 and are now cleaned during the overnight hours before they roll again at 5:00 am. UPDATE: Since the pandemic, the trains are routinely cleaned while still running 24/7.

I LOST MY SOULMATE JIMMY ROMANSOFF IN 2014 HE WAS HIT BY A TRAIN WHILE WORKING ON THE TRACK RIP JIMMY i MISS YOU NEVER A DAY GOES BY XXXXX

[@captainkeyboard1007]

I am sorry that you lost your best friend. It sad when The Best People Around, that is the transit workers get sick, injured, or even killed by sickness, accidents, or by passengers. I cannot overcome myself when passengers attack The Best People Around. I wish that your friend was never in an accident. Perhaps I never knew you both, but his death makes me feel bad.

Anyone else hear the cat at 5.26 ?

[@matthewherold]

Yes! Came to the comments to see if anyone else heard it.

So what has changed in the past twenty years? Aside from the trains, and the fares, absolutely nothing. Hey, that’s the New York City subway for you.

[@darksunrise957]

That very last shot of the video is one thing.

[@MrAwesomedude808]

In fairness, it’s difficult to build underground. Street level and above ground is easier. now a regular rail system is easier because trains run less frequently vs rapid transit.
