New York city subway was built in 1904, one of the oldest systems in New York City. That is why some subway stations are dirty. I agree that Washington metro system is better because of the design of the stations that don't look old. They look clean. MTA has a plan to renovate stations but it takes so long to renovate them, maximum 9 to 11 months. By the way, how long does it take to build a new station or to extend a line because in New York's system, it takes about 8 years to extend a line. And about 10 years to extend a line for 3 more stops.

DC area native here! Lemme explain: The shiny new aluminum-body cars are the freshest, the 7000-series built by Kawasaki and entering service since 2016 onward. The order is for over 700 cars. They're a departure from all previous as they're designed to work as 4-car sets rather than 2-car married pairs. Hence all new trains are 8-cars, the max platform length. 6-car trains are made of the older traincars: 1000-series (delivered at system open, oldest in fleet, built by Rohr), 2000- and 3000-series (originally by Breda, rehabbed by Alstom), 4000-series (by Breda), 5000-series (by CAF) and 6000-series (by Alstom). Hence the sound similarities with the NYC Alstom fleet. All trains run with one driver, who doubles as the conductor (hence the lag with opening doors upon platforming) There are no express tracks. Multiple services share the same track (Green-Yellow, Blue-Orange-Silver; Red is its own track, unshared). And sorry, no RFWs =( Right now WMATA (commonly referred to as Metro) is going through it. So there are things that need fixing/improving/etc. Current traction power levels haven't been upped since opening, hence there's not enough power to run 100% 8-car-train ops. Most times, trains are 6-cars, with 8-car service increased during rush hours. All new trains run as 8-cars at all times. Most 6-car trains are mixed series, with older cars bellied in the middle of the train. As more new railcars enter service, the 1000-series cars are being decommissioned. With this comes the reassembly of trains, and Metro has indicated a move going forward to assembling same-series trains to reduce service issues and improve maintenance consistency (and prevent the hiccuping at 11:16 [at least in part]).

New York still has the old Signal Box that can't make trains on time and at fast rate. Now, MTA or the NYC subway, is making CBTC to replace the old Signal Boxes, which will allow more trains to run with less delays and will make trains run faster at a safe speed rate. I have been seeing this change on a line I ride on in NYC which is the 7 line, which always had delays and trains weren't that fast during rush hours before CBTC. But now, with CBTC, my line has been gast arriving at stations fast and enter safely. Trains are closer so that the other one comes right away in the station during rush hours.

Here in Philly, we use one-price-per-ride too on our subways, trolleys, buses, trolleybuses, and the NHSL.

There are 3 types of subway models, One is a 5000 series, 6000 series and 7000 series trains

You talking about MTA? In DC we have 1000 through 7000. However, 1000, 4000, and 5000-series trains have been retired.

is it really that dark down there? the lights by the sides of the platforms are super cool.

Yes. It looks cool, but they really need to work on lighting.

Are the stations always that dark?
@DJHTransport8 жыл бұрын
Yup! The stations aren't very brightly lit.
@Yoshi-mr5bc8 жыл бұрын
It's always like that. I enjoy the stations most when they're pretty much empty and no trains are coming for like 20 minutes (where I'm trying to head to) it's fun to see other trains roll in and out and just looking around with out the crowds and so much blah blah blah
@Yoshi-mr5bc8 жыл бұрын
They are usually the most empty between 11 AM and 2 PM Surprisingly.
@richterpswag27298 жыл бұрын

Mashdash dang, that makes things look a bit creepy, and a little cool. Guess that's how they save so much money, they aren't paying much for electricity

This is a subway system that I really enjoyed during my vacation over there! But the ONIX propulsion on some of those trains is worse than NYC. Really!
@Thatgamingdiary Жыл бұрын
2:46 Why is there an R160-ish propulsion when the train is stopping?

Yikes, looking back on this footage I can see why so many people were complaining about Metro back then. 12 minute headways on the red line!? These timetables look like they make no sense. Thankfully things are a lot better now. Better train spacing and more frequency helped this system recover from COVID a lot.
