New York City Transit Schedules and Station Locations

GTFS Static format schedules for NYCT Subway, NYCT Bus, MTA Bus, LIRR, and Metro-North services. The data includes station and bus stop locations, train lines and bus routes, and schedule information including holiday services. It also contains schedules for upcoming planned work on the LIRR and Metro-North railroads.

Use Cases

• Analyze station and bus stop location density across the New York City transit network.
• Model train line and bus route schedules to optimize service frequency and identify bottlenecks.
• Plan for holiday service variations and integrate them into ridership forecasting models.
• Simulate the impact of upcoming planned work schedules on LIRR and Metro-North commuter routes.

Strengths

• Covers five major transit agencies in a major metropolitan area: NYCT Subway, NYCT Bus, MTA Bus, LIRR, and Metro-North.
• Includes schedule information for both regular and holiday service periods.
• Contains data for planned work schedules on two commuter rail lines, LIRR and Metro-North.

Limitations

• No row or column counts are provided, making the dataset's scale and granularity unknown.
• The data is static schedule information and does not contain real-time vehicle positions or passenger counts.
• The last update was in September 2023, so schedules may not reflect current service changes.
