"Business Insider India" : Take a look inside New York City's century-old subway system that more than 6 million riders use a day and that desperately needs an upgrade

New York City's subway system is one of the oldest metro systems in the world, and it's come a long way since its opening in 1904 . But in one significant way, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority's (MTA) subway system has stood frozen in time, and it's causing major headaches for commuters. Here's a look inside the outdated system that commuters will have to live with in the meantime:Graham Rapier contributed to a previous version of this article. In the past 100+ years, ridership on New York City's subway system has grown to about six million daily riders, and commuters can now get on and off at 472 stations throughout the four boroughs of Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, and the Bronx. Part of the problem is that the MTA subway system still operates using an antiquated signaling system called block signaling , which only allows MTA employees to see an imprecise location of where a train might be, and much of the technology that operates the trains is more than 100 years old.

Meet New York City's New Area Code: 332

Those with 332 numbers will continue to use their phones normally, and calling a 332 number will be no different than with other area code. Starting June 10, the area code 332 will debut in Manhattan, according to telecommunications giant Verizon. Anybody getting a new phone number after that date could be assigned a 332 number. A new area code does not signal a change in your phone plan either, according to Verizon. One thing to keep in mind should you be given a 332 area code: update your business cards, websites, identification cards, advertisements and other places where your personal contact information may be included.
