,1995,2001,Percentage change
System statistics,,,
MTA subway riders (000),"1,107.9","1,412.5",
"Estimated PATH riders from PATH survey (000) (c,d)",57.1,60.0,
Survey estimates,,,
Main mode subway (000),,"1,283.5",
Access/egress 1: subway–main mode subway (000),,83.9,
Access/egress 2–5: subway–main mode subway (000) (a),,6.6,
Access/egress: main mode not subway (000),,35.3,
Total survey: subway,,"1,409.4",
No subway segments: main mode subway (000),352.2,,
Subway segments: main mode subway (000),646.3,,
Consecutive subway segments: main mode subway (000) (b),136.2,,
Total survey: subway,"1,134.7",,24.2%
Assumptions:,,,
(a) Consecutive access/egress by subway suggest PATH in 2001.,,,
(b) Consecutive segments include subway transfer and PATH.,,,
"(c) In 2001, PATH + subway could be 60,000–80,000 trips per weekday, annualized to approximately 60,000 per day.",,,
"(d) Census 1990–2000 county work flow indicates 9.8% growth in New Jersey workers in New York; assume 1995–2000 = 5% then 1995 PATH riders = 57,100.",,,
