There’s something about Subway statistics that really appeal to me. The organization freak in me is satisfied by how such a chaotic clusterfuck of an experience can be distilled into different systems of analysis that actually make sense. I appreciate the fact that whether or not my morning train is sardine-packed (making necessary the unreal billboards “a crowded train is no excuse for sexual harassment”) or is pleasantly empty get documented somewhere.

This is a cool visualization based on 101 years of data that images where we New Yorkers are heading, and how often. No surprise that Times Square is the biggest hub, but did you know that 55,487,274 passed through it in 2006? Nor is the G train’s sad little thin green line a shocker. Mess around with it, it’s fun. Dots or lines - your choice.
