JubaionBx12+SBS Posted July 31, 2011 Share #1 Posted July 31, 2011 Since I have not seen a thread regarding the 2010 ridership statistics for New York City subway and bus let this be the one. For the subway, Flushing-Main Street now moves into the Top 10 for ridership Lexington Av-53rd Street/51st Street moves out. On the bus front, Bx19 moves into the Top 10 for ridership replacing the M101, although it ranks 11th in average weekday ridership. Feel free to comment on that and any other significant notes. http://www.mta.info/nyct/facts/ridership/ridership_sub_annual.htm http://www.mta.info/nyct/facts/ridership/ridership_sub.htm http://www.mta.info/nyct/facts/ridership/ridership_bus_annual.htm http://www.mta.info/nyct/facts/ridership/ridership_bus.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JubaionBx12+SBS Posted July 31, 2011 Author Share #3 Posted July 31, 2011 See this thread. The intention behind this thread is different. That thread looks into where the info can be found and this one should be a detailed discussion of that info. I should of added discussion to the title to avoid this confusion.

Mysterious2train Posted August 1, 2011 Share #4 Posted August 1, 2011 Practically every station on the goddamned is reporting growth! Morgan Av had a 20% growth o___o Gentritfaction/hipsters yay Also, looks like the M15/B46 question might be solved. According to the bus ridership stats, the M15 was busier than the B46 in 2007 and 2008, but the B46 was busier in 2009 and 2010. Granted, there are other factors to consider, such as the elimination of the City Hall branch, the addition of SBS, and the farebeating on the B46. The MTA Bus co. chart says the B103 is growing every year, one year even had a 50% growth. That's pretty great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoking66 Posted August 1, 2011 Share #5 Posted August 1, 2011 In that regard, the following stations of note show without a doubt the scale of gentrification, particularly in Brooklyn.

cotb16 Posted August 1, 2011 Share #9 Posted August 1, 2011 Top 10 Queens stations: Flushing/Main St : 18,630,490 74th St/Roosevelt Av complex : 16,279,556 Jamaica Center : 11,656,110 Kew Gardens/Union Turnpike : 8,170,406 Forest Hills/71-Continental Avs : 8,137,277 Woodhaven Blvd/Queens Center Mall : 7,307,038 Junction Blvd : 7,140,456 Jamaica/179th St : 6,711,779 Sutphin Blvd/Archer Av/JFK Airport JFK Airtrain, LIRR: 6,447,287 103rd St/Corona Plaza : 5,831,332 How surprising that 103rd St has higher ridership over 82nd St and 90th St on the line. I always thought 90th St, 82nd St, 61st St, and a few stations on the Astoria Line had higher ridership on the line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Q85Rosedale Posted August 1, 2011 Share #11 Posted August 1, 2011 Im looking and I'm seeing Stations on the White Plains Road have a significant growth of about 7% (Gun Hill Road & North). I'm actually surprised to see 233rd street was rated after 276 because I get on there in the mornings, and the CROWD is wow lol. The and (5)'s get significant ridership there. Chart = Station Name, 2010 Ridership, Growth, & Station Number In Popularity. Wakefield-241 Street - 1,471,501 ; 9.8% (291) Nereid Avenue - 1,001,851 ; 8.4% (354) 233 Street - 1,614,436 ; 7.0% (276) 225 Street - 1,283,398 ; 7.7% (313) 219 Street - 1,024,424 ; 7.0% (350) Gun Hill Road - 2,101,823 ; 9.0% (216) Burke Avenue - 1,060,008 ; 1.2% (344) Allerton Avenue - 1,668,896 ; 0.5% (271) Pelham Parkway - 2,703,568 ; 4.6% (175) Bronx Park East - 888,162 ; 2.6% (367) East 180 Street - 1,852,836 ; -9.6% (246) -- The Eastchester Made growth also but not as significant as the White Plains Road line. Eastchester-Dyre Avenue - 1,258,858 ; 6.1% (318) Baychester Avenue - 1,087,618 ; 4.0% (338) Gun Hill Road - 1,713,288 ; 2.2% (264) Pelham Parkway - 883,490 ; 6.1% (368) Morris Park - 535,823 ; 2.2% (401) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JubaionBx12+SBS Posted August 2, 2011 Author Share #12 Posted August 2, 2011 The fact that large chunks of Queens and Brooklyn are underserved adds to the ridership of existing stations. Flushing-Main Street is the busiest station in Queens mainly because lots of people have to take a bus from there to get to their eventual destination which also drives up ridership of the bus routes out there. Brooklyn College-Flatbush Av is similar in that way as well. I don't trust the numbers for Manhattan stations because lots of people transfer to other lines at the busiest stops. You actually get more people into the stations than the paying passengers making things that much more crowded. The Bronx numbers are not surprising at all.

TwoTimer Posted August 2, 2011 Share #13 Posted August 2, 2011 Part of the Bronx growth has to do with the fact that historically in recent years, the Bronx has the cheapest real estate, and I remember a NYT article that heralded the Bronx for decent growth coming out of the recession, with many jobs added. Another reason for growth at these gap stations (Gun Hill/241/Nereid) is that perhaps those Westchester people aren't taking the Metro North as often as they used to. It should be priced at roughly the cost of an express bus downtown (even in rush hour) and in some way include a transfer to a train or bus like the express buses do.

JubaionBx12+SBS Posted August 3, 2011 Author Share #14 Posted August 3, 2011 The bus routes should be ranked based on density (riders per mile) to truly show how crowded they are. Some routes may not rank at the top overall but can have relatively high ridership given their shorter length. The Manhattan crosstown routes can serve as an example.
