Mass transit in New York City : ウィキペディア英語版 | Mass transit in New York City (詳細はNew York City's public transportation network is the most extensive in North America. About one in every three users of mass transit in the United States and two-thirds of the nation's rail riders are residents of New York City, or its suburbs. Data from the 2000 U.S. Census reveals that New York is the only locality in the United States where more than half of all households do not own a car (the figure is even higher in Manhattan, over 75 percent). While nearly 90 percent of Americans drive to their jobs, mass transit is the primary form of travel for New Yorkers. New York's uniquely high rate of public transit makes it one of the most energy efficient cities in the country. ==Ridership==
The Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) operates most of New York City's transit systems. Using census data, the MTA reported in August 2006 that ridership on its buses, subways and commuter trains in recent years has grown faster than population growth, indicating that more New Yorkers are choosing to use mass transit, despite the poor service of some areas in New York City by mass transit.〔http://web.mta.info/mta/planning/sbs/docs/intro_to_brt_phase2.pdf〕 The MTA attributed the ridership gains to the introduction of the MetroCard in 1993, and the replacement of more than 2,800 rolling stock since 2000. From 1995 to 2005, the authority said, ridership on city buses and subways grew by 36%, compared with a population gain in the city of 7%. In the suburbs, it said, a 14% increase in ridership on Metro-North and the Long Island Rail Road outpaced a suburban population gain of 6%. With dramatic increases in fuel prices in 2008, as well as increased tourism and residential growth, ridership on buses and subways grew 3.1% up to about 2.37 billion trips a year compared to 2007. This is the highest ridership since 1965. In 2013, ridership on the New York City Subway was 1.7 billion,〔http://www.mta.info/nyct/facts/ridership/〕 the highest ridership since 1946, despite Hurricane Sandy-related subway closures.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=NYC Subway Ridership At 62 Year High, Despite Sandy Disruptions )〕 Ridership in city buses was 803 million.〔
