The Boston subway, known as the "T," was initially constructed by the Boston Elevated Railway Company, which began work on the system in the early 1900s. The first section opened in 1897, making it the oldest underground rapid transit system in the United States. The project was a response to the city's growing population and traffic congestion, and it has since been expanded and modernized over the years.

Following Boston's example, New York City developed its own extensive subway system, which began operation in 1904, further revolutionizing urban transit. These systems laid the groundwork for modern urban public transportation networks.
