  1. NYC Subways: A Crossroads of Shelter and Enforcement

    New York City subway police cases for sleeping are up. This affects homeless people. More people are being moved to housing but shelters are not growing.

  2. Court cases for sleeping on NYC subways have increased. This is happening even as the city says it moved over 1,000 people into housing this year.

  3. #ThenAndNow: When Gun Hill Road station in the #Bronx opened in 1912 (the same year this #NYTMCollection photo was taken), it was not part of the #NYCsubway. Instead, it was a stop on the New York, Westchester and Boston Railway.

  4. #HappyPassover and #ChagSameach to all who celebrate from the #NYTransitMuseum! Passover begins tonight. These closeups of subway station interiors from #NYTMCollection photographs show a variety of kosher products advertised in the #NYCsubway in the 1940s, 50s, and 60s.

  5. 🎭 Happy #WorldTheatreDay! This 1977 #NYCsubway poster from the #NYTMCollection shows a dozen actors from concurrent Broadway shows posing together in costume. The group is photographed on an R44 subway car for the "MTA gets you there" campaign. It's a star-studded line up. Can you name the actors?

  6. Untapped Cities examines a vintage sign from the closed City Hall subway station, New York's most architecturally significant abandoned transit space. A glimpse into a hidden landmark that most New Yorkers never see.

  8. In honor of #BlackHistoryMonth, throughout February we’ll be highlighting inspiring African Americans in transit history. We begin with Granville T. Woods, a brilliant inventor whose legacy is still felt every day on the #NYCsubway. This 2004 #MetroCard celebrates Woods' achievements.

  10. Happy first night of #Hanukkah to all who celebrate! Created in 2008 by Brooklyn-based artist Cheryl Berkowitz, this design transforms the Downtown Brooklyn area of Vignelli’s classic #NYCSubway diagram into an image of the #menorah. These notecards are available in our store:

  11. #TokenTuesday: The Five Boroughs Token debuted in 1995 and was the last token to be used in the #NYCsubway. A fare increase to $1.50 ushered in the new token which featured a pentagonal hole at the center to symbolize the five boroughs of #NYC.

  12. #TodayInHistory: #OnThisDay in 2012, arguably the biggest quirk of the #NYCsubway system was resolved when an uptown transfer finally opened between the 6 train at Bleecker Street station and the B/D/F/M trains at Broadway–Lafayette Street station. The uptown transfer was completed in 2012.

  13. While riding the B or Q trains between Dekalb Ave station and the Manhattan Bridge, you may catch a glimpse of "Masstransiscope," a public art installation by Bill Brand. It was added to the #NYCsubway system in 1980.

  14. #DidYouKnow that there are two #NYCsubway stations named after the same street, but with different spellings? Beverley Road on the BMT Brighton Line (today's Q train) is spelled with three e’s and Beverly Road on the IRT Nostrand Avenue Line (today's 2/5 trains) is spelled with two e’s). Why?

  15. #TodayInHistory: 50 years ago #OnThisDay in 1975, the first R46 cars entered passenger service in the #NYCsubway system. Vincent Ricevuto, General Superintendent of the @MTA.info 207th St Maintenance & Overhaul Shop, shares his memories of working on the R46. What’s your favorite feature of the R46?

  16. 🥳 Happy 25th anniversary to the R142! #TodayInHistory: #OnThisDay in 2000, the R142 entered revenue service testing in the #NYCsubway. Manufactured by Bombardier Transportation, the R142 was the first NTT (New Technology Train) mass-produced for the A Division.

  17. More long exposure NYC subway photos!
    The moving trains and combination of standing and moving people makes this kind of longer-exposure photography a lot of fun to do.

    Equipment: Fujifilm X-S10 with XF 30mm F2.8 Macro
    Editing: JPGs straight out of camera, with custom Fujifilm film simulation color parameters

  18. This probably doesn’t apply to anyone I know :) #nycsubway #StreetEasy

  19. 🚇 NYC's R46 subway cars are retiring after 50 years of bringing strangers awkwardly close together! These icons of perpendicular seating taught New Yorkers the art of pretending not to make eye contact since the 70s. The new R211s promise wider seats but less forced socializing. End of an era! #NYCSubway #TransitHistory

  20. In addition to being an essential component of the city’s infrastructure, the vast system of tunnels and tracks that makes up the New York City subway system is a place full of mystery and paranormal stories. #NYCsubway #ghosts connectparanormal.link/post/76

  27. Welcome to #car #murica. Out of fear car drivers could vote Trump and fear of "inflation" #Hochul stopped the congestion pricing before it started. Car drivers always win even in the densest metropolitan area of the US.

    Result: All #MTA modernization stopped and dramatic cuts to maintenance of trains and tracks. We all know where this heads to. But "the car user as voter from the suburbs wanting to DRIVE to Manhattan!!!one!!! eleven"...

  29. RT @nytransitmuseum #WomensHistoryMonth: The first woman train operator in the #NYCsubway system was Marion McAllister.

  35. The MTA just published their August 2023 map, and I just pushed updates for both iOS and Android to the App Store and Google Play. The new map removes labels from various avenues and areas around NYC. It certainly looks cleaner. Not sure yet if I'll miss the labels. #nyc #nycsubway #nycsubwayapp #nycsubwaymap #nyctransit #mta #underway
