In 1924, part of the eventual 14th Street-Canarsie Line opened, called the 14th Street-Eastern District Line (commonly the 14th Street-Eastern Line), and carrying the number 16. This was extended east, and in 1928 it was joined to the existing Canarsie Line east of Broadway Junction. At that time, 14th Street-Canarsie Line service as it is today (except for the westernmost part, opened in 1931) was inaugurated. 1924 was a leap year starting on Tuesday (link will take you to calendar). ...

On November 26, 1967, with the opening of the Chrystie Street Connection, the BMT Eastern District lines were given numbers; the 16 became the LL.

Before the 14th Street-Eastern and Canarsie Lines were connected, the Canarsie part of the line already had a number, 14, running from lower Manhattan via the Broadway Elevated and called the Canarsie Line. When the 14th Street-Eastern Line was connected in 1928, this was renamed to the Broadway (Brooklyn) Line, but continued to operate to Canarsie. In 1967, the 14 Canarsie service was given the label JJ (though the 14 itself was designated KK, continuing east from Broadway Junction towards Jamaica). Canarsie service to lower Manhattan was discontinued in 1968. K (and the earlier KK) was the label for two completely different New York City Subway services. ...

New York City Subway - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (2696 words)
The subway is operated by the New York City Transit Authority, described by its parent Metropolitan Transportation Authority as MTA New York City Transit.
The city was closely involved; every line built for the IRT, and most other lines built or improved for the BRT after 1913, were built by the city and leased to the companies (via the original Contracts 1 and 2 for the IRT subway, and the Dual Contracts for later extensions and widenings).
Cars purchased by the City of New York since the inception of the IND and for the other divisions beginning in 1948 are identified by the letter "R" followed by a number; e.g.: R32.
On riding the New York city subway (1582 words)
One of the first things people learn when they come to New York city is that unless you're rich and pretentious and only ride cabs, or highly provincial and never leave your neighborhood, the subway is the best way to get around the city.
New York is an extremely diverse city, but in a way that San Francisco, the city where I lived before, is not.
The first thing that pops into the head of the regular subway rider when they hear about a destination is to try and figure out which subway line it's closest to, and which connections they'll have to take to get there.
