Riding the New York Subway: The Invention of the Modern Passenger

---

When the subway first opened with much fanfare on October 27, 1904, New York became a city of underground passengers almost overnight.

Höhne argues that underground transportation—which early passengers found both exhilarating and distressing—changed perceptions, interactions, and the organization of everyday life.
