How the NYC subway's culture has changed over 120 years

[@mrcatfish2100]

Remember that graffiti in the 80s? Legendary.

[@trainluvr]

Great report. Happy subway day to all.

[@NYCLIVINGLIFE]

I remember when i started roding in 1920 !

[@larryleguizamon2906]

New York in the 70s was dirty and grimey, there was garbage everywhere including Manhattans commercial district.

[@stevenmitchell1]

Don't you miss Times Square from the 1970s?

[@tunedtfin917]

It was still better then today Idc about the crime and grime that was the whole aura of NYC🤦‍♂️and they erased all of it

Sounds like you want to get rid of the air conditioning, too?

[@ArgenisBalbuenaCordovaAj]

@@stevenmitchell1 I remember the lights would turn off on those trains 😭😂😂

[@glamslamcam]

Ummmm let’s not

[@illkoncept]

Good thing they dumped all those culture-defining train cars into the atlantic ocean 🙄 would've been awesome to have a couple in the transit museum

[@gtavstepfordcounty1733]

Let's see how long it takes before the 191st street tunnel gets graffiti again

[@zed316]

Trains Forever Trains 4 Life

[@ZDoreTyr]

I kinda miss the art and graffiti, so much culture lost

[@whiskeykilo2h429]

And unfortunately it has returned to a underground cesspool….

[@KreweOfBridge]

Just as life...

[@RebelGoneLoco]

120 years later…and the service still sucks 😂.

RIGHT HERE THEY NEED TO PUT N.Y.P.D. POLICE TRANSIT 🚇🚇 DISTRICT COPS 👮‍♀️ 👮‍♂️ 🚔 DOWNSTAIRS INSIDE NEAR THE SUBWAY TRAIN 🚇🚇 STATION PLATFORMS NOT AT THE TURNSTYLES WHERE YOU SCAN & $$$ PAY 2.90 CENTS WITH YOUR OMNY SCANNER CARD PASS.

[@SyedTaziane]

[@tiffanycurtis4794]

ITS WORSE🤣

[@UpperMiddleClassDemocrat]

Expand it into New Jersey

[@TailsMilesFoxx]

No need. We have the NJ Transit that goes into NJ.

[@thesubwaynut]

under federal law, this is not allowed anyway. The subway needs to expand into staten Island and deeper into Queens.

[@stevenmitchell1]

​@@thesubwaynut Staten Island already has its own subway.

[@stevenmitchell1]

They already did. It's called the PATH Train.

[@officialalonzo263]

WMATA In my area goes through DC, Maryland, and Virginia. Trains and buses.

[@mikefagan6840]

[@drollins9973]

Miss us with that BS please. . . And Thank you

[@glamslamcam]

The lie you just told with that BS. 🙄🙄🙄

[@andresdr]

Thats a load of bull. Today is nothing compared to the 80s

[@heavyhitta3514]

I never experienced the 80s in NYC, but from what my mother told me and what I see today, ain't nothing new under the sun. It's intensified.

[@ravisriram6746]

We had Ed Koch, a Democrat, as NYC Mayor from 1978 to 1989.

[@WilderEsquivel-x6c]

[@R110Atrainlover]
