# Talk:New York City Subway

A section should be added on the concept of deinterlining the NYC subway. 2600:1003:B13F:7982:8400:BC6C:8046:D94C (talk) 15:04, 22 April 2024 (UTC)

And through running and missed connections? Like the place the lines cross in East Brooklyn and there's no transfer. Sagittarian Milky Way (talk) 18:37, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
Sadly, nearly all of the sources that talk about this are blogs or other self-published sources. I would support the addition of such a section, however, if reliable sources did discuss this. – Epicgenius (talk) 01:17, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
There is precedent-the 1959 switch on the IRT Broadway–Seventh Avenue Line at 96th Street, but it was not discussed as such. Kew Gardens 613 (talk) 20:58, 28 May 2024 (UTC)

I see that it says 8-16 minutes, but this is inaccurate, because late night headways are 20 minutes on all lines except those that are suspended overnight. I see that the A train is cited, but that actually runs every 20 minutes on its branches on weekends, not every 16, so should it be changed? Also, I'm pretty sure minimum off-peak headways are every 4 minutes on the 6 train during middays. (Or we could exclude the shuttles and A train branches and change the off-peak headways to every 4-12 minutes). Fastfoodfanatic (talk) 15:03, 18 November 2024 (UTC)

for the record, "off peak" and "late night" are two different things. Also, yes, it's every 4 minutes, but those do alternate between Parkchester and Pelham bound services.Metropod (talk) 06:11, 23 November 2024 (UTC)
Even then, the 1/7/L trains definitely have more frequent off-peak service, and the A train branches have service every 20 minutes on weekends. Fastfoodfanatic (talk) 13:45, 23 November 2024 (UTC)

ridership of 2 billion for 2024 is for the whole MTA which includes busses and some trains. Its not comparable to the ridership count for the Subway, which is the subject here. 2A01:599:221:76F1:CD1B:5BF2:CB04:B8D4 (talk) 18:45, 17 September 2025 (UTC)

@Epicgenius: It should say 1,195,000,000 instead right? Cards84664 21:13, 17 September 2025 (UTC)
@Cards84664: The 2 billion figure is correct - it excludes buses and railroads - but it also is for unlinked trips, counting each leg of a trip as a separate trip. The 1.195 billion figure is for linked trips, counting each trip with multiple transfers as one. This is mentioned in the infobox already. Epicgenius (talk) 00:49, 18 September 2025 (UTC)
