New York City Subway
NYC metro system
The New York City Subway is the rapid transit system serving New York City, one of the oldest and largest in the world with over 470 stations across four boroughs.
New Yorkers typically call it simply the subway or refer to specific lines by letter or number: Take the A train to Brooklyn.
The system runs 24 hours a day, distinguishing it from most other major transit networks.
Its iconic features include express and local service on the same lines, turnstile fare collection, and crowded rush-hour conditions that have become synonymous with urban life.
