Newark Subway privately owned?

[edit]

This article said that the Newark Subway was another privately owned subway during the lifetime of the TCS. The Newark City Subway page says that before New Jersey Transit took it over, it was owned by the "Public Service Corporation of New Jersey," which sounds like a public company to me. I removed this assertion, but if someone knows more, please correct. --Jfruh 23:12, 14 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Not the only "private" subway in the U.S.

[edit]

Leonard's subway was not the only "private" subway in the U.S. In Philadelphia, the Market Street end of the Market-Frankford Line was built entirely by private capital - and remained under private ownership until 1968.

The Newark City Subway was not fully "private." The tunnel itself was paid for by the city, and leased to the operator (not sure about the open-air sections of right-of-way). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 31.103.157.115 (talk) 07:23, 21 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
