The NYC subway became unprofitable due to the terrible contracts that the operators signed.[0] Specifically they could not increase the fare greater than five cents, which doomed them because of inflation. The city took over the BMT and IRT companies on June 1st 1940. Suburbanization did not really start occurring in the US until after the end of WW2.
