36th Street Station/Union Depot circa 1890
In a city as fast paced as New York, it's easy to get frustrated with the constant MTA delays, fare hikes, annoying commuters and dreadful line closures (we missed you, L train!). But once in a while it's important to remember how amazing our public transportation system really is. We've got one of the oldest, biggest, most expansive subway systems in the world, not to mention that it also runs 24 hours a day every day of the year. Rekindle your love of the MTA (however briefly) with our favorite historical and vintage photos of NYC's subway cars, trolleys and buses to remind you why NYC is the greatest city in the world.
