This indicator reflects the percentage of time during each month that the average platform at accessible stations is available to passengers who need step-free access.

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.

This is a dataset containing the entrances and exits at New York City Subway and Staten Island Railway stations. Information is provided on the entrance or exit, including their coordinates, the borough they are in, whether it allows entries and exits, and the type of entrance (more information below). The dataset also includes the name of the station complex, the complex ID number, the name of the specific station in the complex the entrance is for (constituent station), the station ID number, the GTFS Stop ID, the daytime routes that stop at the station complex, and the line and division the constituent station is on.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

Terminal On-Time Performance measures the percentage of trains arriving at their destination terminals as scheduled. This dataset covers data from 2020 and on. 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.
