    Todays Questions asks what the Term 86 refers to in NYC

    The Correct answer is “Both 1 & 2”

    There are many theories to the origin of this term, but the most likely is the reference to the east line trolley in Manhattan that ran from 12th Street to 86th Street, where the announcement was made, "86th Street, end of the line, all out!"
