The map is a bit skewed because the station they picked--the 1/9 66th St./Lincoln Center station--serves two giant high schools. Not to mention the fact that that station undoubtedly has somewhat higher late evening ridership (due to NYCO/NYCBallet/Met/Philharmonic/etc performances getting out).

Is the NY Times actually cheaper over there? It's $1 an issue here, $5 for the Sunday edition.

I read the entire section (something I never do) and thought Jason Gordon's piece on subway romance was lovely. I actually bought into it for a little while longer than I should have. I am the quintessential unromantic, so I suppose he pulled the rug under my toes a bit. And finally, I can confirm that the letter trains (excluding the L and Shuttle) are wider (and longer) than the numbered trains! Thank you, NY Times. I won't need to whip out the tape measure to vindicate. The F-Train graphic is lovely as well. Now, I'm torn as to whether I'm a lawyer or broker's lawyer--I hope the former--apparently, it's close.

hey, this is cool -- I just bought "Subwayland" in New York City as a souvenir, a few weeks ago

i'm trying to figure out why so many people are on the train between 8-9 [and 9-10] and yet the peak afternoon traffic is between 3 and 4? either i'm working too many hours per week, or everyone else is just routinely getting drunk after work and cabbing it home...

Subwayland is actually out already. I got it for my birthday yesterday!

I think there's a glut of people coming back from school at the time...a lot of people start work in the 8-10 period, but may leave working starting at 4. I wonder if there are a lot of people coming up from Wall Street in the mid afternoon - you know, the people who do foreign markets and then go home to work a little too. And I totally agree that Danny Gregory should write a children's book.

what surprises me is how the morning is so congested in that tight 8-9am band, but the afternoon rush hour is much more diffuse. i'd have expected they would mirror each other more.

Danny Gregory needs to write a kids book -- his stuff is so amazing to look at ... Cant' he do a 'kids in the city' book or something?
