From Hoof to Rail: The History of Mass Transit in NYC

Before the rise of mass suburbanization, America was a nation of cities--and rail. Today, New York stands alone in the US for its public transportation service. And few factors have been as important to Gotham's development. In this Insiders event, join the MTA veteran and transportation historian Andrew Sparberg, author of From a Nickel to a Token, for a crash-course on the history of mass transit in NYC. Conversation will be led by Untapped New York’s Chief Experience Officer Justin Rivers, and Peter-Christian Aigner, Director of The Gotham Center for New York City History.
