Virtually all stations in [[Broker]], [[Dukes]] and [[Bohan]] are located above ground; all stations in [[Algonquin]], aside from [[Frankfort High LTA]], are underground, their entrances distinguishable by their green iron fencing and attached globe lamps. All stations in the system are operational except one, unofficially referred to as [[Dukes Boulevard LTA|Dukes Boulevard station]] along a short stub branch of the Broker Line in [[East Island City]]; the line is also connected to a train yard located in [[Firefly Projects]]. The cost of using the subway is deducted after the trip, as the ticket machines are not operable. Subway lines can be seen on the [[Radar]] in the [[HUD]] as semitransparent gray lines, with stations marked as square lozenges. If a station is underground, multiple access points will be available front street level, typically depicted in the form of a stairway leading underground surrounded by cast iron grills with lampposts attached in the corners.

The subway is a good way to escape from the police at any [[Wanted Level in GTA IV|wanted levels]]. 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. However, 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. This deliberately occurs to prevent the player from either escaping the police or easily unlocking achievements and trophies such as "One Man Army". | The subway is a good way to escape from the police at any [[Wanted Level in GTA IV|wanted levels]].

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 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. | ||
Like [[Grand Theft Auto III]] and [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]], it is impossible to destroy trains during gameplay. Trains are scripted to be derailed in the mission ''[[No Way on the Subway]]'', destroyed in the mission ''[[Bang Bang]]'', and decoupled in the mission ''[[For the Man Who Has Everything]]''. There are no visible drivers on the trains, and trains cannot be commandeered by the player. | Like [[Grand Theft Auto III]] and [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]], it is impossible to destroy trains during gameplay.
