Something here is not quite right. For example, if you look at the 7th ave line (red line/1,2,3) 18th street and 14th street have similar radii.
But anyone knows that 14th street is much more convenient because it's triply serviced by the 1,2,3 with 2,3 being express trains. 18th street is serviced by one train the runs locally. This ignores that you could easily switch to the L, A/C/E, F/M with a short walk.
Still, a cool visualization to show the power of mass transit, and even compare relatively between lines.
- mannykannot 2y agoI see what you mean. According to this map, you can get from the 18th. street station to the 1st ave. stop on the L in ten minutes, but not from 14th. street.
- acomjean 2y agoDoes it include the express trains? (those trains that skip a bunch of stops on certain lines, so they can go faster like the 2) I couldn't figure that out. I remember when I was in NY those trains really moved. https://mta.info/map/5346 https://mta.info/map/5346
- wgerard 2y agoI think it includes transfers and express lines. I noticed if I click on a local stop that meets an express line somewhere, the express line stops are still quite a bit darker than other stops. That's likely why 18th and 14th street are so similar: It only takes a minute or two to get from 18th st -> 14th st.
