BMT (Brooklyn-Manhattan Transit Corporation)

The Brooklyn-Manhattan Transit Corporation (BMT) was a major subway and elevated train system in New York City, operating from 1923 to 1940. It was responsible for much of the city's subway infrastructure before being merged into the city’s public transit authority. The BMT provided essential transportation services connecting Brooklyn, Manhattan, and other boroughs, playing a key role in the city’s growth by enabling faster travel across neighborhoods. It was known for its distinctive rolling stock, including the famous elevated trains and subway lines that still form part of NYC’s transit system today.
