  New York Subway
At the outset of this era, New York County (Manhattan Island and part of the Bronx), Kings County (including the Cities of Brooklyn and Williamsburg) and Queens County were separate political entities.
In 1898, New York, Kings and Richmond Counties, and parts of Queens and Westchester Counties and their constituent cities, towns, villages and hamlets were consolidated into the City of Greater New York.
The three systems were unified and then operated by the City of New York through its Board of Transportation in 1940, which was succeeded in 1953 by the New York City Transit Authority, a state agency incorporated for the benefit of the city, now known to the public as MTA New York City Transit.

 Subways and 42nd Street : New York History
Tweed, a former chairman of the Democratic Central Committee of New York County, was the undisputed leader of the so-called Tweed Ring, which controlled all aspects of New York City's financial lifelines.
Eventually convicted on a number of charges having to do with the theft of city funds, bribery, and other extracurricular activities, Tweed was sent to jail in 1873, and except for a brief escape to Spain, where he was captured and deported back to New York City, he never regained either freedom or power.
What the city needed, Hewitt insisted, was an interborough underground, or subway, an interconnected rail system modeled after those in Europe, which could move great numbers of workers in and out of the city on a daily basis.

 Good news for Brooklyn-Manhattan subway service - Wired New York Forum
Service can finally be expanded, explained Transit Authority spokesman Charles Seaton, because for the first time since 1986, when the repair work began on the Manhattan Bridge, all four subway tracks over the span will be used.
So a centerpiece of their new plan is allowing both options for riders on the Brighton line during weekdays: either an express B train up Avenue of the Americas, or the local Q up Broadway.
As a result, the morning rush, the first since the subway map was rescrambled to send more trains over the bridge and give most Brooklyn residents a faster ride to Midtown, went smoothly, except for some minor delays, according to transit officials, although there was still plenty of subterranean confusion to go around.
