Historical Note: Was a Subway in New York City Inevitable?

AI Impacts

Introduction The first serious attempt at building a subway in New York City occurred in 1866, following the end of the Civil War (1865) and the opening of the first subway in London (1863). The following decades saw a sequence of failed attempts, and the first subway in New York City would not begin operations until 1904. When we consider how popular the subway was, even when it first opened, these failures are remarkable.
