	Rapid transit - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		However, it was not a true subway, as its purpose was simply to reduce the effective grade on the existing railroad line and eliminate the need for horses to provide help for locomotives on the steepest part of the grade.
		The oldest subway in the Southern Hemisphere opened in 1913 in Buenos Aires, Argentina, which is also the oldest one in Latin America and the whole Spanish-speaking world.
		The Toronto Subway (1954) used the first aluminum subway car (which was at the time also the longest car in the world), which reduced weight and therefore operating costs.

		Many subway systems tend to be filthy and rather dull from an aesthetic point of view (though even those systems may have a handful of stations that are quite okay).
		RATP gave reproductions to the subways in Chicago, Lisbon, Mexico City and to the Museum of Modern Art in New York, and an original one to Montreal [metrodemontreal.com].
		Stockholm's subway is referred to as the world's longest art gallery because works of art have been integrated in almost every station since the 1950s.

	The New York City Subway System
		The New York City subway system is one of the most efficient people transports in the entire world.
		The hot and dingy subway system of the 1970's has been completely renovated into a safe, convenient and comfortable mode of transportation between nearly all areas of New York City.
		While minor theft and homelessness still abound, the subway is a much better place than was predicted back in the financially troubled days of the city.

	Infiltration: Toronto Subways
		Naturally the best time to enter the tunnels is when the subway is least populated, late on weeknights and early on weekend mornings.
		Security staff stay on duty after closing, and even after all the passenger trains have finished their runs and returned to the shipyards, the tunnels may still be populated by a variety of maintenance vehicles, including a vacuum car and two tunnel-washer cars.
		Those who want to spend as little time in the tunnels as possible should turn their attention to the southern end of the University line, where the distance between stations is so minuscule one wonders why the TTC didn't just install moving sidewalks.

	Public Transportation: Subways
		While this curious solution to urban transport was not the wave of the future, it paved the way for the American subway.

	Tiscali Showcase - The Subways
		The Subways headlined the sixth Tiscali Showcase at the Bar Academy Islington on Friday February 18th 2005, and you will be able to hear audio and see video from the night shortly on Tiscali Music.
		Such achievements are beyond that of chance; The Subways have built a cult following with the simple formula of writing material of the quality you'd expect from seasoned songwriters but performing it with the kind of reckless abandon that crackles with the intensity, soul and sexuality that only the exuberance of youth can truly provide.
		By the time their debut album is launched in June, The Subways will be the name on the lips of every music lover and also one of the most hotly tipped name on the festival circuit.

	Space and Culture: Subways
		The subway is doubly exemplary because it is also a place of personal memories.
		In the oldest subway lines the larger history and minute histories mix their voices and their names, creating a type of intermediary and fixed memory.
		The memory of the subway is enriched by memories of events that are a part of collective memory, but that some individuals might remember having personally lived, such as the fall of the Berlin wall or the Liberation of Paris."

		Because the MTA doesn’t have other things to worry about, the agency is working on a list of new rules that violators will be fined for breaking, like a new prohibition on propping your feet on a seat.

		Yes, if a ban on subway photography as proposed by the MTA is enacted.
		Both contests are geared more toward "slice of life" photography in the subway, rather than "railfan" photography, but everyone probably has a good usable photograph to submit.
		Plans to ban photography on subway property have been scrapped, at least for now, thanks to public outcry and hopefully the realization that such a ban doesn't solve any public safety problems.

	State of the Subways Report Card
		Regularity of service—how often trains arrive without bunching or gaps in service—improved from 77% to 79%; the distance that subway cars travel on average without breakdowns leaped from 86,843 miles in 1999 to 110,586 miles in 2000; and 85% of subway cars were clean in 2000 compared to 75% in 1999.
		We are encouraged that the subways showed improvement in several areas in the past year.
		On the downside, the subways remain crowded, scheduled service during rush-hours has not significantly increased and announcements have grown poorer on a majority of lines.

	WorldNetDaily: Subways to run directly under Bush at convention
		Penn Station, attached to Madison Square Garden, is the largest commuter artery in New York City, with about 600,000 daily passengers, and closing it during the convention – Aug. 28 through Sept. 2 – could paralyze the city, the MTA spokesperson said.
		The NYPD refused to comment on the record, but an official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said that while he can't divulge the exact security plans for subways during the convention, the NYPD is taking a series of steps to upgrade security.
		Those steps include patrols of subway cars by uniformed and plain-clothed officers, use of K-9 bomb sniffing units, and the deployment of NYPD Hercules teams – elite, heavily armed, Special Forces–type police units – at Penn Station and nearby subway stops.

		With millions of people converging daily on the subways of the world's major cities, analysts say it's nearly impossible to stop determined assailants carrying out attacks like those seen in London.
		Militants have targeted public transport as a relatively easy way to sow terror in urban populations, which often have little choice but to use trains that are dangerously exposed to attack.
		"In subways, it is important for people to be aware of these threats, so that they will quickly report to police if they notice a suspicious thing or person," he told AFP.

	Are subways searches legal? By Daniel Engber
		If New York's subway screenings are challenged in court, the city's lawyers could argue that the program's primary purpose is to protect the city from terrorism.
		If the subway searches pass this first test, the courts will also ask if there is adequate justification for the invasion of privacy.
