MTA Subway Ridership - Statistics 2009-2016
MTA Subway Ridership
Subway ridership consists of all passengers (other than NYC Transit
employees) who enter the subway system, including passengers who
transfer from buses. Ridership does not include passengers who exit the
subway or passengers who transfer from other subway lines, with the
exception of out-of-system transfers; e.g., between the Lexington Ave/63
St F subway station and the Lexington Avenue N subwayQ subwayR subway/59
St 4 subway5 subway6 subway station, where customers use their MetroCard
to make the transfer.
Average weekday, Saturday, and Sunday ridership includes every weekday,
Saturday, and Sunday in the year, except major holidays and days when
the subway system was closed or operated fare-free (Saturday, August 27
and Sunday, August 28, 2011 due to Hurricane Irene, and Monday, October
29 through Friday, November 2, 2012 due to Superstorm Sandy). Average
weekend ridership is the two-day sum of average Saturday plus average
Sunday ridership. Ridership on major holidays (New Year's Day,
Presidents Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving,
and Christmas) is included only in the annual total.
