The first new subway station to open in New York since 1990 began operating yesterday and is expected to carry 32,000 passengers each week day.
The No. 7 station at 34th Street and 11th Avenue on the far west side of Manhattan will improve service for all No 7 train users because it will provide space to store trains – something that had delayed other areas up to now.
