MTA by The Kingston Trio about Boston subways; 1958. About three stations and the fare structure are sung about.

Kendall Square not a transfer for Jamaica Plain-All on the Red Line. "Sister in Chelsea." What line goes to Chelsea?
10 cents a ride but 5 cents to get off for zones. Miami busses use to have that in the 1960's.

Poor Pitiful Me-Linda Ronstadt about 1975. She was waiting for the "Double E" train.

Group name: D Train

Baker Street by Gerry Raferty. Maybe the London street, not the station.

Simon And Garfuncle album cover: Wednesday Morning 3AM; from 1965, pictured at 5th Ave. IND with R1 pulling out of the station.

Album cover: BT Express is 125th street MetroNorth station.

Group: Gun Hill Road (with 1973 song Back When My Hair Was Short) could be the street and not the station though.

Record Label: Times Square Records; Yes the station.

Funky North Philly by Bill Cosby. Maybe the area, not the station.
A song by the comedian from around 1968.
