IIRC, Hylan planned and started building the IND with flying junctions and provisions (Can you say "State Of The Art?") to drain riders off the BMT and IRT. If the Second System had been built, there would likely been no BMT and IRT today. In 1929 it seems the idea was to just have the IND run most of NYC subway service. By 1939 City Goverment realised it couldn't completely get rid of the BMT and IRT. |
