情景对话20：纽约市的地铁

(20).The New York City Subway 纽约市的地铁

            There are subway systems in several cities in the US. New York City
            has an extensive and rather complicated rapid transit system. Each
            train is designated by a letter or a number, but most New Yorkers
            refer to them by such names as the Broadway Local and the 6th Avenue
            Express. It is important to remember that both local and express
            trains operate on some lines. You must have a token or, in some
            cases, the exact change to get on the platforms. Subway maps are
            available at most token booths.
