The New York City subway played a beautiful role in the lives of those born and bred in the Empire state. Back in the good old days, subways throughout the five boroughs helped people get to and from work who are retired today. Most people fell in love joyriding New York City subway trains writing from Brooklyn to Manhattan, Far Rockaway, Astoria Queens, Jackson Heights Queens, writing the number 2 IRT White plains Road bound train past Tremont Avenue and the grand Concourse, as well as having a grand up close and personal scenic view riding in the front car standing next to the motorman's booth.
If you rode the NYC subway back in the mid 1990's as a teenager, you had a square sized paper monthly combination pass of bus and subway. If your public school teacher or P.S. administration didn't hand out the new New York City monthly free train and bus passes on time, you held your index and sometimes middle finger over the words showing the month your pass was valid, so the train token booth clerk doesn't see it and deny you subway train entry and not unlocking the yellow subway bar door.
If you're one of many New Yorkers who enjoyed joyriding the New York City subway in the heyday, the video above on YouTube will bring back good memories.
