It’s been more than exciting seeing how the NYTM functions on the Education Department side. More than thrilled to join the department I have learned that it’s a small size company overall with a total of 98 employees in total, that then is seen by the MTA. As for the education department I’m in it’s a small group of 10 running the education customer experience positions. In addition, as well the museum is a non-profit organization that is located in Brooklyn at the corner of Schermerhorn Street & Boerum Place. Where the primary business is having visitors see firsthand a real-life decommissioned underground station.Filled to the brim with photo galleries and interactive train carts/buses.Where most of the visitors are tourists, school groups, and train fanatics. First opened On July 4, 1976, but was only In the mid-90s that MTA assumed control of the Transit Museum from the New York City Transit Authority. Personally, I say once that happened did it truly become the museum it is today because it expanded to include other aspects of transportation services within the MTA region, including commuter rails such as Metro North, Staten island railway, and the long island railroad. As for recent news about the NYTM, there was an article written recently on April 14th on ” OLD CARS WEEKLY”  about the famous festival of vintage buses and surface vehicles that returns on June 10, 2023. Where guests can explore vintage buses representing more than 90 years of New York City surface transit history. The second recent news article I found was on Apr 5th, 2023 that covers the Subway Nostalgia event that takes place in the summer where instead of vintage buses it’s vintage Subway carts and it’s giving a rundown to tourists that it’s a must-see event.
