While the tunnels between stations have very low clearance, the stations have very high ceilings (with the mezzanines visible from platform level). Stations are identified with dark blue signs with white text of the station name. The underground stations feature tiled walls and platform pillars, similar to the style of the BMT and IRT divisions of the New York City Subway. However, stepping on the third rail won't electrify the player. A sign at Francis International Airport station contains the warning "Avoid third rail track, or you'll get zapped", indicating that at least some trains run on electricity. This may imply that the trains are diesel, or it could just be an oversight by the developers. While the real-life subway is powered by electricity, third rail power delivery is only present at the Francis International Airport station and in the Firefly Projects Rail Yard. Token booths are absent, replaced by the ticket machines and an unusually large police presence. The stations also have metal service entry gates (usually open), though only one station is wheelchair accessible. The turnstiles, meanwhile, strongly resemble the High Entrance Turnstiles of the MTA, but instead of a rotating arm they use a push bar more commonly found in libraries. The ticket machines resemble their real life counterpart Long Island Railroad vending machines.
Instead of MetroCards or tokens, the system uses paper tickets sold from ticket machines. Like their real life counterparts, the stations feature turnstiles and do not accept cash or coinage. The coded coordinates of the tracks can be altered with specific programs, by editing the path files. they cannot move from their set route, and will not stop for any reason whatsoever unless coded to, even when their path is blocked (e.g. However, access to the tracks is still available and is a useful way to escape the police. Subway trains are not operational, or even available, on multiplayer. The player may receive a 1 star wanted level if he proceeds to enter the train without having money for travel. This deliberately occurs to prevent the player from either escaping the police or easily unlocking achievements and trophies such as "One Man Army".Īlternatively, the subway tunnels themselves may be effectively used by the player to escape on foot as police officers do not venture into the tunnels unless they spot the player earlier and pursue him into the tunnels. However, the use of the subway trains is impossible when the player has a three-star wanted level or more, as the trains will either stop at stations indefinitely, bypass any station the player is in, or are halted wherever they are. At lower levels, players may still use the train as the AI is confused by the player entering the trains, the train may take you well outside the wanted zone.
The subway is a good way to escape from the police at any wanted levels.

Full access to the subway system is granted following the mission Blow Your Cover when Algonquin is unlocked. The subway lines in Broker/Dukes and Bohan are available and may be used from the beginning of the game, however as long as Algonquin is locked, only partial use of the train is possible (the Bohan line allowing only a short hop between two stations, for example), even though the trains are still shown going towards Algonquin. Normally this happens at Emerald subway station. These incidents can also happen at stations if a homeless person is on the platform. Sometimes, the homeless will "commit suicide" and wander on the tracks, only to be hit by an oncoming train. Some of the city's homeless can be found taking shelter in the large junction tunnel under Lancet. If a station is underground, multiple access points will be available from street level, typically depicted in the form of a stairway leading underground surrounded by cast iron grills with lampposts attached in the corners. Subway lines can be seen on the Radar in the HUD as semitransparent gray lines, with stations marked as square lozenges. The cost of using the subway is deducted after the trip (with fares increasing based on the length of the ride, unlike the NYC MTA's single base fare), as the ticket machines and turnstiles are not operable.
All stations in the system are operational except one, referred to as Dukes Boulevard station (by an LTA Construction Sign on the Station entrance) along a short stub branch of the Broker Line in East Island City the line is also connected to the Firefly Projects Rail Yard. All stations in Broker, Dukes, and Bohan are located above ground stations in Algonquin, aside from Frankfort High LTA, are underground, their entrances are distinguishable by their green iron fencing and attached globe lamps.
