BMT – Brooklyn Manhattan Transit
IND – Independent
IRT – Interborough Rapid Transit
I remember the basket weave seats – nylon snaggers but comfie. Great if you could get a seat under a fan too. The windows opened which was also good in hot weather – despite some rank odors.
I’ve got one better! When I was in HS, someone arranged for us to have a social/dance on one of those old subway cars. We rented about 5 of those old subway cars,complete with a motorman. He drove us around the system for about 2 hours,and then we stopped in that abandoned subway stop in downtown Brooklyn (Schemehorn St, I think?) where a band was set up, and then we had a dance.
At the time I thought it was great, but now that I think back, it was pretty incredible. Renting your own vintage subway train and stop!
11217, you get around, man. Enjoy.
11217, have a great trip
benson, I saw those old subway cars at the Transit Museum

So, the pregnant lady asks, What’s for lunch?
