Unfortunately, the subway system was building during the 20th Century, therefore, it is not heated, nor air condtioned, with the exception of Grand Central Station on the #4, 5, and 6 lines (Green Line on the subway map).
In regards to the subway look likes. May I recommend the the video at the links below.
The trains themselves are heated, and usually to an appropriate temperature. That is, everyone doesn't have to take their coats off, which would be inconvenient on a crowded train.
The tunnels, though, are not heated so sometimes the platforms can be pretty cold while you're waiting for a train. And then of course some sections of the system use elevated tracks above the ground, so the platforms are as cold as anywhere else outdoors.
The subway cars are heated, yes. Although some of the newer trains really blast the air and sometimes it does feel a little chilly.
The stations themselves are not heated, and naturally the elevated platforms are completely exposed.
If you're thinking of the subway stations in lower Manhattan and Midtown (anywhere below 135th Street), those stations are underground and are not heated, but you're less exposed to the cold down there.
Nightmares. All night. RADical ones w/ scary monsters, knives on subways, a dying dog trapped in my trunk and Owl City songs. Boo.

If you are a young person, you shouldnt be concerned about the temperature in the subway since you will only be standing a few minutes for a train.
ReplyDeleteSubways usually have heat so don't worry.
ReplyDeleteFor city bus lines and subways, it's the city. Riders are product to ask for tax money.
