纽约地铁周日客流314万人次创历史纪录
美国纽约州纽约市的大都会运输署（MTA）11月2日宣布，纽约地铁在万圣节及纽约马拉松周末创下多项客流纪录。11月1日星期日，共有314万人次搭乘地铁，创下星期日单日历史最高纪录，比去年同期高出11%。
10月31日万圣节当天，359万人次搭乘地铁，创下疫情后星期六最高纪录，也是自2016年以来最高的星期六单日客流。10月29日星期四，地铁单日客流达472万人次，创下疫情后单日最高纪录，同比增长9.7%。此前一周，10月19日至23日五个工作日客流达2232万人次，创下疫情后工作日新高；同一周七天总客流达2787万人次。
纽约州州长霍楚（Kathy Hochul）与运输署在宣布纪录的同时也承认，不少乘客抱怨站台过度拥挤和列车延误。运输署表示，创纪录的客流显示纽约市民出行需求强劲，但也给系统运力带来压力。11月3日选举日当天，纽约市投票站开放至晚9时，地铁仍是许多选民前往投票站的主要交通工具。
NYC Subway Sets All-Time Sunday Record With 3.14 Million Riders
NEW YORK — The Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) announced on November 2 that New York City's subway set a series of ridership records over the Halloween and New York City Marathon weekend. On Sunday, November 1, the subway carried 3.14 million riders, an all-time record for a Sunday and 11 percent higher than the same day last year.
On Halloween, Saturday, October 31, ridership reached 3.59 million, the highest Saturday total since the pandemic and the busiest Saturday since 2016. On Thursday, October 29, the subway carried 4.72 million riders, a post-pandemic single-day record, up 9.7 percent year over year. In the preceding week, the five weekdays from October 19 to 23 drew 22.32 million riders, a post-pandemic weekday high, and the full seven-day week totaled 27.87 million.
Governor Kathy Hochul and the MTA acknowledged, in announcing the records, that many riders complain about overcrowded platforms and train delays. The agency said the record ridership shows strong travel demand among New Yorkers but also puts pressure on system capacity. On Election Day, November 3, New York City polling places stayed open until 9 p.m., and the subway remained the main way many voters reached their polling sites.
