The need for additional subways to service New York City was evident within weeks of the opening of the IRT in 1904. The path to the next phase of rapid transit expansion was long delayed by the opposition of August Belmont and the IRT, and by shifting political and financial conditions. Ultimately, the great expansion known as the “Dual Contracts” was adopted and implemented, while at the same time breaking the IRT’s monopoly over the system.
