Celebrating a Subway Centennial
The New York Metropolitan Transportation Authority recently celebrated the centennial anniversary of the now-defunct Brooklyn-Manhattan Transit Corporation (BMT) with special nostalgia rides. Four trains that were in service decades ago returned to operation, transporting customers on non-stop loops that began and ended at the Brighton Beach Station on the Q Line—for the cost of a regular fare. Brooklyn’s first complete subway line opened June 22, 1915, taking customers between Lower Manhattan and Coney Island via the Manhattan Bridge, Fourth Avenue Subway and Sea Beach Line. The BMT became part of the city’s united New York City public transit system in 1940.
