	Subway trains are not operational, or even available, on [[Multiplayer in GTA IV\|multiplayer]]. However, access to the tracks is still available, and is a useful way to escape the police. Trains also run on a "rail", i.e. 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. by a vehicle).

			== Availability ==
			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. Full access to the subway system is granted following the mission [[Blow Your Cover]] when Algonquin is unlocked.

	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. Some of the city's homeless can be found taking shelter in the large junction tunnel under Lancet.

	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 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.

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.

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.

	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~~'''. Things such as those benefit towards one's 100% completion~~.		The subway is a good way to escape from the police at any [[Wanted Level in GTA IV\|wanted levels]].

	Alternatively, 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. There is also a bug where the player may receive a 1 star wanted level when entering certain trains while police are nearby. This may be a bug in the game's programming as the trains are not "owned" by the player, and the Police AI is programmed to chase the player when he enters a vehicle that isn't owned by him.

	Subway trains are not operational, or even available, on [[Multiplayer in GTA IV\|multiplayer]]. However, access to the tracks is still available, and is a useful way to escape the police. Trains also run on a 'rail', i.e. 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. by a vehicle).

	== ~~Abandoned railway lines~~ ==		== Trivia ==
	It is possible that the Liberty City Subway may have shared the tracks with (now defunct) freight trains in the past, as well as having a completely different route (possibly reserved for the freight trains).		* There are two unused subway tunnels in the Algonquin side of the network that form connections between two other lines but are not part of regular subway routes: These include the tunnel which connects North Park Station to West Park Station and one which connects West Park Station to Frankfort High Station. Also, within the junction tunnel under Lancet, there are tracks which connect Easton Station to Manganese East Station.

	~~In western [[East Island City]], a section of railway leading from a bricked up tunnel exists, west toward Algonquin, and stops facing that water, suggesting a bridge may have at one point existed.~~

	In Algonquin, an abandon portion of an old railway appears in the west along [[Westminster]] and [[The Meat Quarter]], running from the plaza of a new building, blocked off by barrier boards, and runs through several buildings before splitting up. One section runs into a garage in a building (supporting the fact that it may have been used for freight), and the other leads to a broken off edge forming a ramp. The line is clearly inspired by the real-life [[wp:High Line (New York City)\|High Line]] in New York City, pre-renovation.

	Several disused tracks and railcars also dot industrial areas in Alderney. These include two abandoned rail depots (one that has been almost completely torn down), several sections of track (mostly running through old alleyways), a section of track running by the old [[Sprunk Factory]] that splits up, with one side leading into a bricked up tunnel. There is also a rail line running from a bricked up tunnel running from southern Alderney City, through Normandy, through Port Tudor (with parts of the track heading onto one of the piers, and ending on a ramp and several old pillars near northern Acter Industrial Park. This track is mostly intact, though several newer structures (roads, buildings) have been built over it.

	There ~~also~~ are two unused subway tunnels in the Algonquin side of the network that form connections between two other lines but are not part of regular subway routes: These include the tunnel which connects North Park Station to West Park Station and one which connects West Park Station to Frankfort High Station. Also, within the junction tunnel under Lancet, there are tracks which connect Easton Station to Manganese East Station.
