	Brooklyn-Manhattan Transit Corporation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The BMT was the successor in bankruptcy to the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company.
		Several Brooklyn lines extend into Queens, and these are elevated, except for the final station on the Myrtle Avenue Line, which is on the surface, and the last two stations of the BMT Jamaica Line, which is in a new (1989) subway (officially the BMT Archer Avenue Line).
		The BMT was a national leader in the transit industry, and was a proponent of advanced urban railways, participating in development of advanced streetcar designs, including the PCC car, whose design and advanced components influenced railcar design worldwide for decades.

	All-four - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		All-four is an urban transport scheme first annunciated by the Brooklyn-Manhattan Transit Corporation (BMT—New York City) in the 1930s in which different transportation technologies are chosen and implemented in an integrated system.
		The BMT pioneered introducing petrol buses on a large number of marginal routes through its subsidiary Brooklyn Bus Corporation, and substituted a single trolleybus for a streetcar line, the Avenue C/Cortelyou Road line in Brooklyn.
		The heaviest tram routes in turn could plot the route of heavy rapid transit lines.

	Subway - NYWiki
		For many years, different subway lines were operated by various private companies, such as the IRT, Brooklyn-Manhattan Transit Company (BMT), and the Independent Subway (IND).
		An MTA department called New York City Transit (NYCT) runs the day-to-day operations of the subway and buses.
		The subway is operated by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA), a state agency that manages mass transit all over the state of New York.

	Trolleybus
		Some cities, led by the Brooklyn-Manhattan Transit Corporation (BMT—New York), subscribed to the all-four concept of using buses, trolleybuses, trams (in U.S. called streetcars, trolleys or light rail) and rapid transit subway and/or elevated lines (metros) as appropriate for routes ranging from lightly-used to heaviest trunk line.
		Trolleybus systems could avoid obstacles in the street which a streetcar could not, and did not require as much capital investment as a streetcar line.
		Buses and trolleybuses in particular were seen as entry systems that could later be upgraded to rail as appropriate.

	The History of the Independent Subway

		A new line running from Prospect Ave., Brooklyn to Ft. Hamilton Pkwy., to 10th Ave., terminating at 90th Street.

	A Brief History of the Transit Police
		Since both the IRT and the competing BMT (Brooklyn-Manhattan Transit) lines were privately financed and built, they had no police, but only their own private security personnel.
		Beginning in 1949, the question as to who should supervise the Transit Police Department was one which was carefully scrutinized over the next five years by various city officials.
		Over time, however, the separation between the NYPD and the NYC Transit Police Department created more and more problems.

		The Brooklyn-Manhattan Transit Corp. (BMT) and its various predecessor lines helped develop the Borough of Brooklyn by building elevated lines that reached the far corners of the borough and allowed easy access to Manhattan.
		The Interborough Rapid Transit Subway, or IRT, was the first subway company in New York City.
		Even with elevated train lines springing up around the city, the need for an underground rapid transit railroad was obvious as a solution to street congestion and to assist development in outlying areas.
