The oldest subway system was built in london in the mid to late 1800s, this system is known as the "london underground"

NYC i believeAnswerNew York City is the correct answer only if by "longest" the questioner means the longest by miles of track. The Metropolitan Transit Authority reports that the system currently has "approximately 660 miles" of track in "revenue service" - in other words, serving passengers. (Another 180 miles of track is in "non-revenue service," such as in subway yards.) By that measure the system dwarfs all others in the world. However, it's also deceptive. New York's subway is the world's only system that offers extensive express service, meaning that almost every line consists of four tracks rather than two. A more intuitive measure of "longest" subway is miles of route, which gives a much better idea of how much territory a system covers. By that measure, Shanghai is the current winner, at 260 miles. London comes in second at 258 miles, followed by New York (228) Tokyo (181), Seoul (178), and Madrid (176).For more, please see urbanrail.net, the most authoritative on-line source for subways (I'm not affiliated with the site - just a user).Since April 10 2010, Shanghai has become the holder of this record with 420 km of route, carrying more than 5 million passengers per day.

No, you cannot take the subway to Greenwich from New York City. But you can take the subway to the MetroNorth stations, and then take MetroNorth Railroad to Greenwich.See the Related Link below for MetroNorth schedules and fares. You will need to click the icon on the RIGHT, the one that says "Click for lines EAST of Hudson - Harlem, Hudson, New Haven."MetroNorth trains depart from Grand Central Station, and from East 125th Street and Park Avenue. Take the 4-5-6 subway line (the dark green line) to either 42nd Street (Grand Central) or 125th Street, and then transfer to MetroNorth.See the second Related Link for a complete New York City subway map.

New Jersey has its own train into Manhattan, called the PATH train, which connects to the Eighth Avenue subway line (the A-C-E, or the blue line). So, no, there are no plans to extend the MTA (Metro Transit Authority) subways into New Jersey.
