Geek Alert: Subway Ridership Stats

The MTA has unloaded a trainload of ridership stats for useless trivia fans such as myself. There were 1.6 billion rides in 2011. Weekday rides in Manhattan alone are right under three million.

The top six busiest stations by number of entries at each:

1. Times Square: 61M
2. Grand Central: 43M
3. Herald Square: 38M
4. Union Square: 35M
5. Penn Station [1/2/3]: 27M
6. Penn Station [A/C/E]: 25M
