（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 transit¹ 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.
