The New York Transit Museum. For some people it is a museum, for others it can mean more than that. Court St was a train station that was located close to Borough Hall and Jay St Metro Tech, the station also had connections to other trains that went into Manhattan just like like Borough Hall, Jay St Metro Tech. Due to those other stations being placed into the convenience of the public Court St did not really had much ridership and was forced to close down, this occurred on June 1946. After being abandoned for years, the transit authority came up with the bright idea of using the Court St station has an exhibition, the exhibition consisted of showing the history of the public transportation such as buses and trains. While the exhibition was meant to be temporary it has still continued until present day due to the increase in popularity among the people and tourists alike. With this information in mind I proceeded to pick two articles, one article was written by Edward Rothstein and in this article he describes the things that can be found on the museum. The other article was written by Melissa Noble and in this article she explains her point of view on the museum which mainly consists of facts ratter than describing the stuff that can be found on the museum.
