I remember when it cost 5 cents. I’m older than all of you!

I’m old enough to remember (just barely) when there were change booths, instead of token booths and you used a dime in the turnstyle. Of course, by the time I was allowed to use the subway on my own the small, dime-size tokens that cost 15¢ were in use.

Ooh, so much I forgot! The smoking is a memory I blocked out, I guess.

Well if you remember the cane seats on all lines, then you probably are older than me. 😉 I just remember a couple of leftover trains.

The Guardian Angels! How could I forget?

I remember the cane seats and ceiling fans on the subway. I grew up in Rosedale in a 2 fare zone and called Manhattan the city.
My husband and I met at the NYCTA. I was their first paralegal and he was an attorney in the Brooklyn unit. I sexually harassed him and then he married me.
I bet I’m older than you.-P

Heavy wood turnstiles, ceiling fans, thin tokens the size of a dime and smoking on the platforms.
