Train Talk: Commuters, Reverse and Otherwise
Question: what proportion of Metro-North riders commute into Grand Central Terminal?
Answer: 51%. The rest are either reverse commuters from Manhattan to the northern suburbs, non-peak hour travellers, or those going between intermediate stations. This surprising (to me, at least) information is from the February 2007 issue of Mileposts, the newsletter that appears on the seats of Metro-North trains. Another statistic from the same issue: ridership in 2006 increased by 3.2% to 76.8 million.
