The program was called Poetry in Motion; it was later supplanted by Train of Thought (sponsored by the TV show, "Jeopardy"), which displayed short inspiring passages from great thinkers. But those have come to an end, as the people in charge have decided to use the space to promote the accomplishments of the subway system. "Improving. Nonstop" is the current offering of the great thinkers who run the subway system.Dannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8011647259561000207.post-39114169232781130062011-01-11T22:05:00.865+01:002011-01-11T22:05:00.865+01:00Years ago, when I was a teen, the New York City su...Years ago, when I was a teen, the New York City subways and buses used to have poetry and quotations sponsored, by the Metropolitan Transit Authority.
