Description
The New York City Subway is a rapid transit system owned by the City of New York and leased to the New York City Transit Authority, a subsidiary agency of the state-run Metropolitan Transportation Authority. Opened in 1904, the New York City Subway is one of the world's oldest public transit systems, one of the world's most used metro systems, and the metro system with the most stations and the most trackage. It offers service 24 hours per day and every day of the year. The New York City Subway is the largest rapid transit system in the world by number of stations, with 469 stations in operation (422, if stations connected by transfers are counted as single stations). Stations are located throughout the boroughs of Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, and the Bronx. As the rapid transit system of one of the most interesting and diverse cities in the world it is also a fascinating subject for photography. In addition to people watching, in many stations there is art on display and performers to listen to and watch.
Here we see artifacts displayed in the Eastern Parkway, Brooklyn station of the # 2 and # 3 lines which is the stop for the Brooklyn Botanic Gardens and Brooklyn Museum.
