NEW
YORK CITY SUBWAY
MTA New York
City Transit Authority (also know as NYCTA, or simply the TA for
Transit Authority) is a New York State Authority (under the state
Authorities Law) that operates buses and subway trains in New York
City. The TA was originally founded in 1953 as a city agency to
operate surface lines (buses and then, streetcars) and the IRT,
BMT, and IND subways; before that date these services were managed
by New York City's Board of Transportation. In 1965, the TA became
part of the New York Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA),
a state commission, though legally it is a separate Authority (similar
to a separate public corporation).
