How does a subway get lost and where does it go?
To explore this matter, WNYC’s Transportation Nation put up a January post, map and radio feature about the city’s “ghost system” of never-built or abandoned lines.
Seems that this project was so well regarded, it was included on New York Magazine’s Approval Matrix, where they were placed in the Highbrow / Brilliant quadrant.
Now the folks at TN are giving an illustrated presentation at the Mid-Manhattan branch about TN’s subways research — where they would’ve gone and why they weren’t built.
The presentation happens this Thursday at 6:30 p.m. with Jim O’Grady, WNYC reporter and TN contributor, and John Keefe, Senior Editor for Data News & Journalism Technology at WNYC.
