Street Artist Proposes on Subway Signage
It may not be easy on the eyes, or even phallic, but this subway map is pleasing in its own way. The creator worked off a spreadsheet with the "annual 'registrations' (i.e. recorded entries) at each station in the NYC subway system going back to the beginning (1905)." From that, he charted out what each station's ridership has been over the years, and voila! Here you can pretty much see when the Karl Fischer condos started going up in Williamsburg. Check out the entire system here.

A herculean effort. Transit buffs and wonks are going to pour over these stats.
Does everyone notice that ALL ridership levels were higher than they are now in the 1940s.
Now
Imagine even MORE people on the trains the next time any of you spoiled brats start whining about the greatest public transportation system in the US of A.
Perfection is a sin.
Be grateful for what you have.
Thats during the war, dumbass
Neat. I like the peaks at Willets Point for the two World's Fairs, and the gradual decline of Coney Island as a destination.
