Fare Data

These files show the number of MetroCard swipes made each week by customers entering each station of the New York City Subway, PATH, AirTrain JFK and the Roosevelt Island Tram, broken out to show the relative popularity of the various types of MetroCards. MTA New York City Transit posts the latest data every Saturday by 1 a.m., and the dates listed in the links reference the date the data is posted. The data in the files covers seven-day periods beginning on the Saturday two weeks prior to the posting date and ending on the following Friday. Thus, as an example, the file labeled Saturday, January 15, 2011, has data covering the period from Saturday, January 1, 2011, through Friday, January 7. The file labeled January 22 has data covering the period from Saturday, January 8, through Friday, January 14. And so on and so forth.

The abbreviations used to reference the different types of MetroCards can be found in the Fare Type Description file.
