Ever wonder why NYC subway lines aren’t alphabetical, or why completely different trains share the same color? The system makes a lot more sense once you realize the colors represent the major Manhattan trunk lines, not just individual trains. I learned so much of this history from the New York Transit Museum, which is genuinely one of the best places to understand how the city’s subway system evolved into the beautiful, confusing map we know today. 🚇 #nyc #subway #southasia
