List of New York City Subway stations in Brooklyn : ウィキペディア英語版 | List of New York City Subway stations in Brooklyn (詳細はNew York City Subway is a rapid transit system that serves four of the five boroughs of New York City in the U.S. state of New York: the Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, and Queens. Operated by the New York City Transit Authority under the Metropolitan Transportation Authority of New York, the New York City Subway is the busiest rapid transit system in the United States and the fourth busiest in the world, with 5.225 million daily riders. The system's stations qualifies it to have the largest number of rapid transit stations in the world. Three rapid transit companies merged in 1940 to create the present New York City Subway system: the Interborough Rapid Transit Company (IRT), the Brooklyn–Manhattan Transit Corporation (BMT), and the Independent Subway System (IND). All three former systems are present in Brooklyn. == History and description ==
The vast majority of current subway lines in Brooklyn trace their lineage back to the Brooklyn–Manhattan Transit (BMT) and Brooklyn Rapid Transit (BRT). The oldest right-of-way in the entire subway system is that of the West End Line. Its right-of-way began passenger service on October 9, 1863 as a surface steam railroad called the Brooklyn, Bath and Coney Island. It was later rebuilt under the Dual Contracts, opening as the current elevated road on June 24, 1916.〔New York Times, New Line to Bath Beach, June 24, 1916, page 7〕 The West End line is not the oldest elevated in Brooklyn. That honor goes to the BMT Jamaica Line with the section from Van Siclen Avenue to Gates Avenue opening on May 13, 1885. The oldest un-rebuilt section still in-use, is from Alabama Avenue to Cypress Hills. That section opened between September 5, 1885 and May 30, 1893. The rest of the line from Marcy Avenue to Broadway Junction was rebuilt during the Dual Contracts. It was also extended past Cypress Hills towards Jamaica, Queens during that time. The newest line in Brooklyn is the ramp from the IND Fulton Street Line connecting with the former BMT Fulton Street elevated which opened on April 29, 1956. This ramp includes a connection to Pitkin Yard and the Grant Avenue station. There are 170 New York City Subway stations in Brooklyn (171 if 75th Street – Elderts Lane (BMT Jamaica Line) is included. It is actually located in both Brooklyn and Queens). When transfer stations with two or more non-adjacent platforms are counted as one station, the number of stations is 157.
