2004 was a centennial celebration for New York City subway system. First train started to ride in 1904.
This set contains of many metrocards, initially MTA started this series by itself and promoted it on mta.com web site. However TV Channel NBC 4 and Telemundo T47 joined to support this event and eventually New York Post newspaper joined too. That is the reason that some metrocards don’t have any sponsor’s logos and some have logo of 4NBC (English) or T47 Telemundo (Spanish) and some in addition logo of The New York Post.
This newspaper together with Health Plan of New York (HIP) sponsored folded centennial subway map in special folder. That map was distributed as an enclosure to newspaper edition.
