Farewell, Subway Token
By RICHARD PÉREZ-PEÑA


The New York City subway token, tool and talisman of city life since
Vincent R. Impellitteri was mayor, is dead at age 50, transit officials
said yesterday.

The causes of death were technology and economics.

Tokens will be sold for the last time on Saturday, April 12, said Lawrence
G. Reuter, president of New York City Transit.
