The user’s score is measured with a “passenger mood” gauge that rates one’s effectiveness as an operator. The simulator gives a real sense of the effects of braking too quickly or too rapid an acceleration would have on real passengers.
“I look forward to seeing the subway line in real operation.” “It’s a pretty good simulation of train operation,” says Peter Diamond of Manhattan. Signaling and speed control are simulated just like on real subway operations. From there you head south to the 72nd Street platform. The trip begins at the northern-most platform at 96th Street. Simulator movement is controlled with a realistic-looking operator’s joystick. The simulator covers New York City Transit’s Second Avenue Subway right-of-way, including a route through three stations that are yet to open.
The Metropolitan Transportation Authority has created a realistic train simulator experience that the average railfan can now enjoy. Subway fans now have the opportunity to operate a first-of-its-kind subway simulator. NEW YORK – Always wanted to operate a subway train? Here is your chance.
