	New York Transit Museum Reopens - Wired New York Forum
		Being a transit buff is often a solitary thing, the Feins concede, but it felt a touch less lonely yesterday as the pair — wearing matching T-shirts emblazoned with the purple circle of the No. 7 subway line — joined hundreds of other transportation enthusiasts at the New York Transit Museum in Brooklyn.
		The Feins were disappointed when the museum closed for renovation, and they were elated to hear — at a "bus rodeo" last summer, when buses from different eras were on display in Brooklyn — that it was opening again.
		While not all children may be as transportation-minded, those present yesterday whizzed around the museum with the excitement of ants descending on newfound crumbs.
