Forest Glen Posted May 24, 2011 Share #1 Posted May 24, 2011 While I was checking the progress of the line extension, I inadvertently stumbled upon a commercial that took me down nostalgia lane: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R68 Subway Car Posted July 12, 2011 Share #3 Posted July 12, 2011 I remember some of those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trainfan22 Posted July 12, 2011 Share #4 Posted July 12, 2011 I remember these!!! Crazy that most of the trains and buses in the video have been retired. Also, LOL @ LI Bus being in the commercial. Kinda depressing, the 90s was happier times, I mean on a FAR bigger level than just transit. I'm shocked they never showed the WTC or ESB observation decks in these commercials. It would be awesome if they made a updated one just like this, but with all the new equipment that came after this was made, The Nova SBS Artics, the LFS, the Hybrids, the NG CNGs to rep LI Bus, the C40LF, NTT, M7/8, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gtNovaBusRTS9369 Posted July 12, 2011 Share #6 Posted July 12, 2011 I probably remember seeing a commerical like this. The thing is that I only remember seeing a couple of images of the LIRR trains featured on the commerical though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andres Posted July 12, 2011 Share #7 Posted July 12, 2011 the guy said "Metro Card Gold" was that the name for the Metro Card when it was first being introduced? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark1447 Posted July 13, 2011 Share #9 Posted July 13, 2011 Great find.. Even tho i would rename the title "Old Metrocard Commercials" as its in general. The Metrocard Gold was introduced in 97, not the card itself. Blue Metrocard was introed in 1993 while tokens were still maintained. I forgot, did the replaced Blue Metros because of security and use of fraud in the cards? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dynamic Vaudeville Posted July 13, 2011 Share #10 Posted July 13, 2011 Excellent find; am I the only one who finds the background music pretty catchy? Also I remember when the MTA would also play commercials during Christmastime. The 90s was a goood decade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
