0:56 Last time I checked, Toronto was still in North America… they’ve had articulated open gangway subway cars for 10+ yrs 😂

Montreal's subway system has had similar types of trains in service since 2016 and it now represents the majority model of the metro's rolling stock. Because Montreal's subway system is 100% underground, subway surfing has never been an issue.

Looks like the Hong Kong MTR trains from the 1990s. Good job NYC. Hope they roll this out to all trains ASAP! Love it

0:57 This is the only train in north america to have ganways

Toronto rocket has left the chat

[DemiseRacing]

Lol Toronto has had open subways that you can go car to car in for like 10 years.

[jimwoo]

Asia systems have had these features for decades. plus more

[rhuttrho]

Cameras don't matter if the criminals are released time and time again.😂

Definitely not the first train in North America. Toronto has the accordion patches and a completely open trains.

[AECarreras]

I love how he says "first in America" but Canada has had open cars for years!

[marzymarrz]

As a tourist I appreciate knowing where I am and where my stop is in the lineup. This is a significant improvement over the last scary time I road the subway.

London tube user here: the biggest benefit of the open trains is the lowered overcrowding. The complaints people have made are just nimbyism though.

Those sliding doors are very rare in London. I can only think of a handful of stations that have them.

One of the things that I enjoyed about my recent visit to Paris was how wide and well-lit the subway stations were. Yes, some of the more touristy lines have those glass safety panels.

As a Texan kiddo, I have a strong affection for NYC and a deep admiration for the city itself.

However, every time I've visited and encountered some of the aggressive and insane characters on the subway, my anxiety shoots through the roof.

This isn't going to stop any crime in NYC subways. Particularly when Alvin Bragg is the criminal's greatest ally and keeps them on the streets.

[Davidsbeenhere]

this was very informative! thanks bro will ride that new train next time 🙏

[brettparnell]

Its not the only one in North America. Toronto has had open subway trains for years.

[MoCam-in]

The open gangway will allow the bullets to travel even farther once they start flying. 😢😂

[ItsPrimetime]

We had this in Toronto for awhile, good to see you're now up to speed New York.

[ClaireandNanami]

I had seen those connected open cars in other countries many years ago. Those barriers in front of the tracks you showed are not that great. They only block some areas. I love that in some countries in Asia, the whole area of the tracks is blocked and it opens only when the train has stopped. I wish they had those in the US. It prevents people from being shoved into the tracks, and also suicides.

I was waiting for the Queens-bound E at 42nd street when suddenly the new C train pulled up, so I said the hell with it and took it one stop north. It was quite the thrill ride
