	Brooklyn-Manhattan Transit Corporation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The subsidiary that operated the elevated and subway lines was the New York Rapid Transit Corporation.
		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).

	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.

	Commercial Real Estate In Brooklyn
		Brooklyn’s job market is driven primarily by three factors – the performance of the National/City economy, population flows and the borough’s role as a convenient back office for New York’s businesses.
		Brooklyn’s unemployment rate fell from 10.0 percent in January 2003 to 9.7 percent in January 2004.
		The number of Brooklyn residents with jobs fell by 14,600 (1.5 percent) while the number who were unsuccessfully seeking work dropped by 4,300.

	Untitled Document
		The BRT was reorganized in 1923 as the Brooklyn Manhattan Transit Corporation (B.M.T.).
		The Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company was incorporated in 1896 and by 1900 as a result of mergers and aquisitions it had aquired control of all of these companies (and more).
		The BRT was a holding company -- it began to consolidate the elevated lines under a subsidiary called the Brooklyn Union Elevated Railroad Co. Another subsidiary, the Transit Development Company, was formed to own the shops and rolling stock.

	TROLLEYBUS FACTS AND INFORMATION
		Some transit systems, such as Muni in San Francisco, have gotten around this problem by installing battery packs on their trolleybuses to allow them to drive for short distances in case they cannot follow the standard route.
		Although the Brooklyn system under the BMT built only one trolleybus line, other cities, notably San_Francisco,_California and Philadelphia,_Pennsylvania, built larger systems and still maintain "all-four".
		Boston is using dual-mode_buses on its new Silver Line that run on overhead electricity on a fixed right of way and then transition to city streets using diesel power.

		The BRT later became the Brooklyn-Manhattan Transit Corporation (BMT).
		In 1915, the Brooklyn Rapid Transit (BRT) began service between Brooklyn and Manhattan.
		Operated by the Interborough Rapid Transit Company (IRT), the original subway operated along a 9.1-mile track through Manhattan reaching 28 stations along its route.

	The History of the Independent Subway
		For Manhattan, the Second Avenue Subway was still on the drawing board, having a northern terminal at Harding Ave in the Bronx, and connecting into the IND Court Street shuttle in Brooklyn.
		A new tunnel under the East River to connect the Fulton St. El in Brooklyn with City Hall in Manhattan (presumably the lower level of the BMT's City Hall station, not the IRT's City Hall Loop)
		The south side of the Manhattan Bridge was closed for repairs in the mid-1980s; the years of running heavier steel subway cars on the outside edges of the bridge cause the structure to twist several feet as the trains cross the structure.

	Notes on the Collection of Transfers Chapter 2
		Frequently these companies should be regarded as subdivisions of one system, as in the case of the two street car companies in Atlantic City, or the subsidiary companies of the Brooklyn-Manhattan Transit Corporation in New York.
		In the Brooklyn-Manhattan Transit system and the Brooklyn City Railroad, careful distinction is made between these two kinds of transfer, while, in other systems, such as the Philadelphia Rapid Transit system or the Los Angeles Railway (1921 issue), the same form of transfer differently punched is used for both kinds of privilege.
		This is the case, for instance, in Brooklyn, N. Y., on the Brooklyn City Railroad and on the Brooklyn-Manhattan Transit System excluding the central fare zone of the three main subsidiary companies.

		Extensively rebuilt for use by rapid transit stock, the torturous trail to operation finally ended when the line was opened in 1915, between Grand Central Station and Vernon-Jackson Avenues.

		The Brooklyn-Manhattan Transit Corporation's influence extended far beyond the borders of its namesake borough, New York City, or even the U.S. One of the outposts of its pioneering spirit was the Soviet Union, in what was then Leningrad.
		The Brotherhood of Interborough Rapid Transit Employees, a company union, launched an amazing 100% percent effective strike against the entire IRT rapid transit system and the Manhattan els, winning a 25% across the board pay hike.
		Not included in the expanded system was New York's "forgotten" borough and the Staten Island Rapid Transit Railway Company and its 22 route miles of electric lines, which stayed with its parent Baltimore and Ohio Railroad for another 31 years.

		Despite a wondrous century of technological marvels, the Brooklyn Bridge has declined substantially in efficiency.
		When the streetcar lines and the elevated subways were demolished, the people were decanted out into the green spaces surrounding the city, and the suburbs of the modern sprawling metropolis were born.

	R32 - RSCI, The Science Classification Index
		In 1963, the New York City Transit Authority contracted with Budd for 600 IND/BMT cars (300 pairs), to replace older equipment, including the BMT D-type (Triplex) articulated cars.
		They were originally assigned to BMT Southern Division service only, initially on the Brighton Beach Line Express service (Q train) and the Sea Beach Line (N train), later seeing service as well on the West End Line (T and TT trains).
		Budd had bid on previous contract with the NYCTA, but had never won a City contract for a production run of cars until the R32s, as Budd built only stainless-steel equipment, and the TA refused to allow a differential in competitive bids for this higher-quality construction.
