    I've ridden those rails many times; never were those minutes so fascinating as when they were sped to 5 (?) times their speed.

    Mesmerizing, Marco!

    Well done, and inspiring for other NYC moments that would be better if only they were faster.

    Thanks, Nora! It's a 10x speedup, actually... although I wish it were only 5x, because that would mean I'd save 10 minutes per day of commute time.

    You're from Westchester?

    how'd you keep it so still? did you bring a tripod with you in the train? I don't think I could ever do that on the F, E, 4, or A trains.

    Thanks for adding this to the channel! I'm honored.

    It was hand-held. Keeping it still (or at least, still enough) was literally just me pressing the camera flush against the window with as much of my body weight as possible against it.

    awesome. maybe think about adding sound + changing the speed so it seems like one smooth ride without stops or slowing down.

    What a cool roller coaster ride!
    I liked it best when you were changing tracks.
