Among the most impacted stations was the Canarsie-Rockaway station in Brooklyn on the L line where ridership last month was a mere 14.6% of what it was in 2019.
Nearly all Big Apple subway stations are still drawing fewer riders compared to pre-pandemic levels three years ago, new data shows.Among the most impacted stations was the Canarsie-Rockaway station in Brooklyn on the L line.Leading the way was the Astoria Boulevard stop in Queens on N, Q, and W lines, where ridership last month was up a whopping 274.5% — or nearly triple. However, the increase is largely attributed to the station being closed for much of 2019 for a huge construction project.
Deputy Comptroller Rahul Jain said most stations seeing increases were boosted by the “continued recovery of certain industry sectors like restaurant, retail, and hospitality. Some stations only improved because they were under construction during parts of 2019 and had reduced service.The deputy comptroller also said lower-income neighborhoods typically have more residents using subways than wealthier communities where residents are more likely employed in industries that allow staff to work remotely, such as finance.
