NYC Subway Data, Part 4 – moar data!

After spending some fun time with the subway schedule data the other night, I’m a bit more curious now about usage.

On the data list I found the following resources:

• Fare Data

(could be helpful for finding fare type popularity? dunno how interesting that is…)

• Subway Entrance & Exit GIS Data

Location data, cool! Through the NYC open data site, I even found this cool little map showing the NYC subway entrances (I’m assuming based on this data):

• Turnstile Data

THIS is interesting because hourly turnstile data COULD be helpful for trying to estimate station popularity at a given time of day/day of week/etc. The only problem is that the Remote Unit/Control Area/Station Name Key data doesn’t really matchup with the GTFS dataset Stops identifiers:

vs.

Hopefully more soon…
