The New York City subway system dates back to the early 20th century. Opening in 1904, the first line, the IRT (Interborough Rapid Transit Company), ran from City Hall to 145th street. As it evolved, it added the BRT (Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company) and the IND (Independent subway system. In 1940, the three lines were joined together under city control, with the formal establishment of the MTA (Metropolitan Transportation Authority) coming in 1968.
