**from 8:00AM to 8:59 AM on an average Fall day in 2007 the NYC Subway carried 388,802 passengers into the CBD on 370 trains over 22 tracks. In other words, a train carrying 1,050 people crossed into the CBD every 6 seconds.

Still 24/7, still $2. What Londoners wouldn't have given for some express lines to have been built at the beginning, eh? I had no idea this many people were moved around NYC! I wonder how many move between the areas that are not counted in that?
I'm too lazy to search for the corresponding data on the Tubes. So sue me.
