Facts on Transportation in NYC

First out of four short posts, the facts about transportation in NYC

1. New York City Subway

This is one of the world’s finest, oldest and largest rapid transit systems. It has over 450 stations. It deals with 229 miles of routes. If you combine all passengers carried by other US public rail systems, the NYC Subway alone will surpass that. Its stations are positioned at different places of Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, or Bronx.

With some exceptions, all NYC Subway services run through Manhattan. The first two exceptions are the Franklin Avenue Shuttle and the Rockaway Park Shuttle. The Brooklyn–Queens Crosstown Local (G) doesn’t tear through Manhattan as it joins Brooklyn and Queens straightly.

2. 59th Street–Columbus Circle

This station of NYC Subway is shared by 2 services. The first one is IRT Broadway–Seventh Avenue Line. The second one is the IND Eighth Avenue Line. This subway station stands Columbus Circle, which is in Midtown Manhattan. This is the intersecting point of 59th Street, Broadway and Eighth Avenue intersect.
