TRANSPORTATION

There are four types of urban transit in New York City: subways, ele-
vated railways (els), busses, and surface cars. The fare is 5c on all lines,
except the Fifth Avenue Coach Co. (10c) and certain routes in outlying
parts of the city. Subways link all the boroughs except Staten Island, which
is accessible only by the municipal ferry (5c). Three el lines serve Man-
hattan and the Bronx, and five serve Brooklyn and parts of Queens; all
points in Queens are also reached by the Long Island Railroad. In Man-
hattan, surface lines, mostly bus, are the chief means of cross-town travel.
Staten Island has a bus system and a railway, the Staten Island Rapid
Transit Co. (see map), both with terminals at the St. George
Ferry. The Hudson and Manhattan Railroad (Hudson Tubes) is a rapid
transit service between New York and Newark, N. J.

Subways

See map of subway and el lines.

The three subway systems—the Interborough Rapid Transit Corp.
(IRT), the 8th Ave. (Independent) Subway System (municipally owned
and operated), and the Brooklyn-Manhattan Transit Corp. (BMT)—
operate in Manhattan and have branches running into the Bronx, Brook-
lyn, and Queens. Both the IRT and 8th Ave. subways run the full length
