Table 11.II.B
New York City Transit
- When the subway opened in 1904, it launched an unprecedented era of growth
and prosperity for the newly unified New York City.
- Nearly 100 years later, the city's reliance on its rapid transit system
has not diminished.
- NYC Transit keeps New York moving 24 hours a day, seven days a week, as
its subways speed through underground tunnels and elevated structures in the
boroughs of Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, and the Bronx.
- In Staten Island, NYC Transit's Staten Island Railway links 22 communities.
- NYC Transit's buses run in all five boroughs, on more than 200 local and
30 express routes.
- They account for 80 percent of the city's surface mass transportation.
- All NYC Transit's buses and subway stations accept the MetroCard, the MTA's
automated fare collection medium.
