The system is operated by the [[Liberty Transport Authority]] (LTA). The subway also appears in [[Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars]], however it is inaccessible to the player, yet trains still run.

The subway trains, consist of a form of two cars or three, are heavily graffitied, and have black and white internal CCTV cameras via which the player can view the protagonist during their journey. The subway Interior can also be viewed, if you use the camera function on the player's cell phone. Doing that, reveals the actual shabbiness of the interior, that is hard to see on security cameras. The cars of the trains are based on 1966–67 [[wp:R38 (New York City Subway car)|New York City Subway Class R38 cars]], which were completely retired by March 2009; the bulkheads of the cars feature curtain route signs and additional lights seen only on pre-rebuilt R38s (rebuilt R38s feature only a flipdot sign). The signs consistently reference the [[Routes K + E|K line]] and "[[South Slopes|Sundance St.; Sth. Slopes]]" (implying [[Schottler LTA|Schottler station]]), which the K line does not serve. | The subway trains, consist of a form of two cars or three, are heavily graffitied, and have black and white internal CCTV cameras via which the player can view the protagonist during their journey.
