“During the pandemic, MTA scaled back subway service and some lines, yet the subway still reigns as the most convenient way of getting to main transport hubs in Manhattan such as Grand Central or attractions like Times Square. “As ridership returns to New York City’s public transportation network, we can use Moovit’s comprehensive data repository to gain insight into mobility patterns as people travel about the City,” said Yovav Meydad, Moovit’s Chief Growth and Marketing Officer. Five out of ten busiest bus stations are located in Queens, one in the Bronx, and the four remaining top bus stations are located in Manhattan.Eight out of the ten busiest subway stations listed are located in Manhattan, and the remaining two in Brooklyn.Surprisingly, Grand Central Station doesn’t make the top 5 subway stations.The data reveals a couple of interesting points: The data, based on Moovit’s app usage and filtered for transport type, was taken from April- August, 2021 and lists the stations according to how often travelers are departing or arriving to these points.
