New York City's underground trains are a draw for travelers who want to easily move around the city, but their squeaky rail lines, frequent interruptions, and dingy walls are less than desirable for an early morning commute. The NYC subway system opened in 1904, and although it has been updated over the years, its old age is felt by passengers in the Bronx. The 149 Street-Grand Concourse Station is one of the oldest in the Bronx, opening in 1905 as Mott Avenue Station, according to Gothamist. While the original underground trains here were primarily accessible via elevators due to the depth and elevation changes, they were removed in the 1970s. And although external renovations are underway for the underground trains, NYC's subway system is still intrinsically chaotic.
