Posted by Dupont Circle Station on Fri Jan 8 19:07:54 2010, in response to Re: Nassau Street loop line, posted by Michael549 on Fri Jan 8 17:11:34 2010. From what I've pieced together from stats posted here over the years and anecdotal details from various bloggers who live along the M, there's likely a countable 65/35 or greater split of Midtown/Downtown riders. When I lived in NYC in the 80s, it was easily that. Inbound AMs, the J & M after calling at Essex plainly had less than half their passengers left. In the evenings, they were no more than 1/3 full until Essex, where they'd get packed. When I was living in Bensonhurst, I'd take the M when I was calling on my Financial District clients. Leaving at the end of the day, southbound the M was pretty empty until Pacific, when it and the B would often hit 80% capacity (largely because service sucked so bad...I'd frequently switch to the D and backtrack from Stillwell just to avoid the 10mph crawl on skeletonized track in 4th Av). |
