A wonderful museum in an old subway station. Lots of very interesting old carriages as well as multiple timelines showing the evolution of public transport in NY over the past 200 years. Was only $10 USD for adult tickets. Spent about 75 minutes here. Would recommend early on a weekday if possible

Absolutely fantastic! This museum is a nostalgic journey through NYC's transit history.

Strongly recommend for anyone
