I've been using OMNY for years and somehow just completely removed from my memory all the times my metrocard registered a swipe but didn't unlock the turnstile and I had to beg a station agent to let me in. Horrifying to remember

Miles in Transit

Aww, thanks so much! Happy New Year to you as well!

Miles in Transit

That's very cool!

Miles in Transit

Haha, it was Victor's idea to do the story! Thanks so much!

Miles in Transit

Thank you, and I'm so glad we inspired a visit to Deep Cove! I hope I can ride the Northlander train when it comes back soon...

Miles in Transit

Haha, part of me was considering shouting you out in the Patreon description because you had mentioned wanting a Jeremy romp through New York, but I ended up not doing it - I'm so glad you enjoyed it!

Miles in Transit

Thank you!!

Miles in Transit

Thank you so much!!

This video is my favourite Miles video this year. Even though I live in Finland and see plenty of snow, I love NYC when it's covered in snow. The chaos with the non working metrocard machines, piles of snow that people have to jump over to get to the bus .. it all makes for a great video.

Better frequency by bus, and sadly -- it's faster.

I watched you and Jeremy on Spectrum News - you were both great!

I can’t tell you how happy this video made me. Just seeing Jeremy’s enthusiasm makes me smile! Sorry I missed you guys in Newark Penn. Hope our PATHs (pun intended) cross somewhere, sometime

Just curious, why did Dashiell take the bus instead of the Adirondack to get to NY? I'd imagine Amtrak would be a no brainer?

I recommend the plane video to all of my friends who don't appreciate transit stuff! They all love it, too.

I also loved that Northern Quebec plane video. My dad did too. Gave us both - also Native Americans - a glimpse of life outside where we live. I think my second two favorites are a tie between this one — and you and Jeremy’s longest journey using only a metro card — which was slightly less unhinged that this one.

My favourite video of the year was circumnavigating Vancouver harbour. It had a nice mix of vehicles and environments, it's close to home for me, and it inspired me to visit Deep Cove myself. Second favourite was probably the Northern Quebec one. And I'd love to see more Ontario Northland on the channel.

The NYT reporters were interesting to watch in the background. Unclear if they were enjoying the adventure or were wondering why in Gods name they were selected to cover this particular story. Regardless this was a great way to end the year. Thanks Miles for all you do!! I hope our paths cross on the T someday!!!

A fun fact is that the Roosevelt Island Tram gets about as much daily ridership as the Roosevelt Island subway station. It’s a random little amusement park ride in the middle of NYC that’s also useful as actual transit!

I only started watching Miles' videos a couple of months ago, but I already find myself dancing along to the credits music while I sit at my desk. :) So, as a fan, I really appreciate having the end credits three times in this video. Happy New Year!
