Description:

In time for the centennial celebration of the New York City Subway, WFUV rumbles through the 100 year-old rapid transit system and meets the characters that inhabit it, as we go underground for the inaugural subway ride, look for love on the L train, and experience the view from a conductor’s seat. We forecast the future of the fabled 2nd Avenue Line, while looking back at the generations that have graced the subway platforms since 1904. And yes, oh yes, we even take the A train.
