The first line was open in 1904, stemming from early steam and elavated railroads and showed its true potential through blizzards and other natural misfortunes where it helped in aiding the private companies and people in more ways then originally intended.

Transportation, it’s what makes the world go round, literally. Transportation and its evolution is absolutely one of the most important topics regarding the urban cities. At first it started as a business venture, and then took on the role of a public service, and now in many cities cannot function without it. The influence of sophisticated transportation goes beyond cities life; its impacts can even be seen in industrialization and globalization.
Transportation would be a great topic for the exam, because we learn how much NYC has advanced and where everything all began.
