From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The T and TT were two former rapid transit services in the New York City Subway, operated by the Brooklyn-Manhattan Transit Corporation (BMT). They provided service on the BMT West End Line after it opened in 1916, running in Manhattan on the BMT Broadway Line and BMT Nassau Street Line. The T and TT services were discontinued after the Chrystie Street Connection opened in 1967 and 1968, when B trains running via the IND Sixth Avenue Line in Manhattan were extended to Coney Island–Stillwell Avenue, taking over all service on the West End Line. Today, service on the West End Line is provided by the D train.
