CTPP is Census Transportation Planning Products — it’s a really detailed dataset that gets down to the census tract level (maybe even the block group level; it’s been a second since I’ve used) and allows you to view commutation between two tracts, the mode of that commutation, etc. Flaw is of course that not all trips are commutation and that not all commutation trips follow perfect shortest path from O to D, but it should get you started. 

If you’re just looking for figures for transit trips by borough, though, I’d look at bus/subway ridership stats. You’d honestly get a more accurate picture that way, and with the bus redesign effort forcing the agency to publicize some more granular bus network data, you’d be able to have some specificity too. 

THANKS.

I agree it is better to ook at bus/subway ridership stats. But tbh, I haven't any public  data which listed the information as I want to obtain.

Would you mind sharing me the link if possible?

The MTA has an internal O/D model that they create using surveys and regional data sets, but I don’t think they’d be willing to share. 

What’s the exact purpose of your research? If the accuracy of transfer distributions doesn’t matter too much, you could, in a pinch, use CTPP and then guesstimate routes using elasticities?  

Thanks for your patient reply. What is CTPP? I am the rookie of this forum.

The purpose of my research is to understand how many passengers are traveled within each borough by public transit.

Thanks

Hi Folks

I am doing a research which using the NYC public transit as the case study. Now the bottleneck of my current model input is to correctly estimate passenger behavior on weekday peak hour. So my question is that is there any public data to display number of  stop to stop trips at peak hours? If not, is there any way to approximate those numbers?

Thanks
