They have a gift shop too and a place to sit and eat if you bring your own food.

Guard said it is because she had to be weary of letting homeless people in.

I’ve been to the museum a few times, I always liked it, cause of the nicely illustrated history of the city. I even was a sustaining member mainly to get the chance to see the abandoned underground station below the City Hall to visit. Another benefit of this membership is that you can board the USS Intrepid on the Hudson River for free together with a non-member.

A great museum for any transit geek. The vintage trains on the lower level are cool to see.

The New York Transit Museum, located on 99 Schermerhorn Street in Downtown Brooklyn, is an intricately designed compilation of transportation technology. This technology ranged from standard train cars to the more luxurious forms of transportation like high end train cars with cushioned seats and leather straps hanging from the ceiling of the train for standing passengers. Within each exhibit there is a little bit of history about how the development of transit began and the innovations created to keep people safe who chose to use public transit. This is museum is more than just organized exhibits that are used to display a specified timeline which is hidden behind inches of glass. Rather, this museum is a real life sized interactive experience that you have to see to believe. After visiting this museum and absorbing the knowledge that each exhibit provided, I can honestly say that I urge all New Yorkers in the downtown area to give this museum a shot.
