NYC’s subway is one of the world’s most extensive, with 469 stations and 24 lines, boasting an annual ridership of 1.7 billion in 2015.

History

The project outlines the subway’s historical development and key events shaping its current structure, ranking as the fourth largest globally at 33 miles.

Challenges

Commuters face issues due to the system’s age and design, particularly with unclear signage and cluttered displays, leading to information overload. Proposals include improved signage and multilingual support.
