These surveys were conducted to collect data on travel origins and
destinations, trip purposes, and travel characteristics of New York City
Transit, Metro-North Railroad, and Long Island Rail Road customers with
the aim of upgrading the MTA's travel forecasting tools and gaining a
better understanding of how people travel.

Major Incidents are unplanned incidents that delay 50 or more trains, which cause the most disruption to customers. This dataset covers data between 2015 and 2019. For data from 2020 on, use dataset https://data.ny.gov/Transportation/MTA-Subway-Major-Incidents-Beginning-2020/j6d2-s8m2.

Service Delivered measures the percentage of scheduled trains that are actually provided during peak hours on weekdays (7 AM to 10 AM and 4 PM to 7 PM) and weekends (10 AM to 6 PM) for a given month. This dataset covers data from 2020 and on. For data between 2015 and 2019, use dataset https://data.ny.gov/Transportation/MTA-Subway-Service-Delivered-2015-2019/32ch-sei3.

A dataset listing all station complexes in the subway system. Station complexes are collections of stations which are interconnected by passageways within fare control or are stations on different levels that are not parallel to each other and that are connected by stairways, escalators, or elevators.

Mean Distance Between Failures reports how frequently train mechanical problems cause delays by month and subway car class. It is the main indicator for subway car reliability used at NYCT and is used to compare performance over time and across different subway car types. Only a small proportion of subway delays are due to malfunctioning trains.

Passenger Environment Survey indicators combine the results of surveys of a number of different aspects of subway car conditions to measure passenger comfort and convenience.

Quarterly estimated Fare Evasion rate for Subways with margin of error. Rate estimated using surveys conducted by traffic checkers and applying stratified sampling.

This dataset reflects the monthly number of units vandalized for select elements of the subway and bus system.

The percent of the time that elevators and escalators are operational systemwide.

For data between 2015 and 2019, use dataset https://data.ny.gov/Transportation/MTA-Subway-Terminal-On-Time-Performance-2015-2019/f6rf-2a3t.

This dataset includes monthly customer feedback performance metric data for NYCT. For Subways, Buses, Access-A-Ride, MetroCard, and Other NYCT, there is data on the total number of complaints and commendations, and the number of complaints and commendations per 100,000 riders, along with monthly ridership.

Wait Assessment measures how regularly trains are spaced during peak hours at selected timepoints on each line.

This archival dataset shows the number of MetroCard swipes made each week by customers entering each station of the New York City Subway, Staten Island Railway, PATH, AirTrain JFK and the Roosevelt Island Tram, broken out to show the relative popularity of the various types of MetroCards. Please use the subway hourly ridership dataset (https://data.ny.gov/Transportation/MTA-Subway-Hourly-Ridership-Beginning-February-202/wujg-7c2s/) for up-to-date data which includes OMNY fares
