A section from one of the latest detailed maps of New York showing the whole of the transit system of the city. A close inspection will demonstrate the entire absence of railway connections to the piers on either the North River or Long Island side of this lower end of Manhattan Island. The thicker broken lines are the overhead street railways, and the thinner lines surface car tramways. The underground tubes, of which there are now a large number in New York, to provide for its immense street traffic, are denoted by the thick continuous lines with tbe solid circles marking the stations. Five million passengers are carried daily.
