	Encyclopedia: New York City Transit Authority
		New York City is at the heart of the New York metropolitan area with a population of around 21 million, which itself is part of the so-called BosWash megalopolis extending from Boston to Washington, DC, a core economic region of the nation with a population of approximately 44 million people.
		Prior to 1898, New York City consisted of Manhattan and the Bronx, which was annexed by the city from southern Westchester County in two separate actions: the western portion in 1874, and the remaining portion in 1895.
		New York is a city of great museums with the Metropolitan Museum of Art's assemblage of historic art, the Museum of Modern Art and Guggenheim Museum's 20th century collection, and the American Museum of Natural History and its Hayden Planetarium focusing on the sciences.

		Residents of the city often refer to the city itself as "the Five Boroughs," reserving the phrase "the City" for Manhattan, and referring to the other boroughs as "the Outer Boroughs." Those less familiar with the city often (incorrectly) think Manhattan is synonymous with New York City.
		Since 1991, New York City has seen a fifteen-year trend of decreasing crime and is now among the safest cities in America; many neighborhoods that were once considered dangerous are thriving with new businesses and housing, and many residents feel safe to walk the streets late at night.
		New York City's crime rates vary by neighborhood and borough; Staten Island is the overall safest and Brooklyn and The Bronx have the highest crime rates.

		The New York City Transit Authority (also known as NYCTA, NYCT or simply the TA for Transit Authority) is a New York State Authority that operates buses and subway trains in New York City.
		In 1968 the NYCTA, and its subsidiary, the Manhattan and Bronx Surface Transit Operating Authority (“MaBSTOA”), were placed under the control of, and are now "affiliates" of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA), a public benefit corporation chartered by the New York State Legislature in 1965.
		Although the Chairman and Members of MTA, by statute, are also the Chairman and Members of the Transit Authority and Directors of MaBSTOA, and the Executive Director of MTA is, ex officio, Executive Director of the Transit Authority, the Transit Authority has its own management structure which is responsible for its day-to-day operations.

		The result of this considerable undertaking is a veritable Bartholomew Fair of names, dates and facts, eminently useful for researching New York City in its particulars, but falling short in Diderot's terms of making the subject broadly comprehensible.
		As a resident of Greenwich Village battling the proposed Lower Manhattan Expressway, she schooled and inspired a generation of activists in how to deal with arrogant officialdom intent on promoting highway and "slum" clearance at the expense of neighborhood.
		And then in one mighty stroke, The Death And Life of Great American Cities (1961), she mounted a devastating critique of a city planning, public housing and urban renewal programs which changed the way her friends and foes alike looked at the fabric and scale not just of New York, but all cities.
