This dataset provides the load percentage for each express bus route at its maximum load point (the bus stop where the highest number of passengers are on the bus) by direction, hour, day type (weekday, weekends and holidays), aggregated by week.

This dataset contains information on customer feedback submitted by riders of the transit system on the MTA’s website. For each piece of feedback provided, it is categorized as a complaint or commendation, and there is information provided for the agency (Buses, Subway, Long Island Rail Road, or Metro-North Railroad), the subject matter, the subject detail, the issue detail, the year, the quarter, and, if applicable, the branch/line/route.

Service alerts in the MTA system are generated to inform passengers of both scheduled and unscheduled events that affect the transit network. These events can range from planned maintenance and construction activities to unexpected incidents such as accidents, track maintenance or planned work and more. The process of creating alerts involves the continuous monitoring of the transit system, including station locations, track statuses, and external factors that might impact service. When a potential disruption is identified, an alert is generated to provide passengers with timely and accurate information about how their travel might be affected.
