| New York City's first official subway system opened in Manhattan on October 27, 1904. The Inter-borough Rapid Transit Company (IRT) operated the 9.1-mile long subway line that consisted of 28 stations from City Hall to 145th Street and Broadway. | Subway customers bought tickets to pay their fare until May 10, 1920. Coin-operated subway turnstiles took nickels and then dimes when the fare became ten cents. Tokens replaced coins in 1953, when the fare rose to 15 cents, since turnstiles couldn't handle two different coins. | The MTA discontinued the use of tokens in the
subway on May 3, 2003, and on buses on December 31, 2003 and the
metro card was born! NYC MTA Jewelry Covers over 50 years of Remarkable Subway Memories. |
