New York City Transit Authority

The New York City Transit Authority (NYCTA, branded as MTA New York City Transit) is a public authority in the U.S. state of New York that operates public transportation in New York City. Part of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, the busiest and largest transit system in North America, the NYCTA has a daily ridership of 7 million trips (over 2 billion annually).
==1953–1962==
In March 1953, the Board of Transportation of the City of New York was abolished, and was replaced by the New York City Transit Authority. The original "R-10" logo was last seen on overhauled R-38 cars before their retirement on March 19, 2009.
==1962–1968==
The R-10 logo was replaced by the "TA" logo in 1962, but was widely available on R-32, R-33WF, R-36WF, R-38, and R-40S cars by 1964. Their last use was in 1989 when they began to finish up overhauling older subway cars. This logo can still be seen on the Coney Island Overhaul Shop and R-33WF #9306 and #9307.
==1968–1994==
In 1968, when the Metropolitan Commuter Transportation Authority (MCTA) was new, the more familiar "M" logo replaced the "TA" logo when it bought the New York City Transit Authority, soon forming the MTA. It can still be seen on a few old subway cars, subway entrances, and a few rules of conduct posters in the token booths.
==1994–present==
The current logo was also unveiled in 1993 during MetroCard testing, but it wasn't widely available to the public until 1994.
