Ridership clocked in at 4 million people on Tuesday and again on Thursday – squarely in the middle of MTA projections.
Make your contribution now and help Gothamist thrive in 2023.The MTA clocked a seasonal high in subway ridership twice this week, with more than 4 million returning to the rails on separate days.
Fares are a critical revenue source for the MTA, and account for 24% of the more than $19 billion operating budget. Midday ridership, between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., has returned to pre-pandemic levels and is actually a few percentage points higher than it was pre-COVID. Before the pandemic, midday ridership accounted for about 27% of total ridership. Now, it’s at 29%.
The 4 million figure is likely undercounting the actual number of people on the subways, since the agency calculates ridership by tracking who paid their fares.
