RAIL TRANSIT: THE OPERATORS VIEW

Rail transit has contributed to the development and maintenance of the vital urban core in American cities. Those that have central business district subways have retained the strength and vitality evidenced in Chicago's Dearborn Street, Philadelphia's Market Street and Manhattan's 6th Avenue.
