Ridership Record Set by Interborough Lines at Public Hearing
The Interborough Rapid Transit Company reported a new single day ridership record of over 1.8 million riders on a Monday, with subway traffic about 861000 and elevated lines carrying roughly 45 and 55 percent respectively. Officials attributed growth to the subway extension to Brooklyn and noted a 30 percent rise in subway traffic year over year while elevated lines declined about 3 percent. The hearing, before the Public Service Commission, focused on a proposed 180th Street Third Avenue elevated station and a car storage yard that could affect expansion plans. A witness quoted bean-counting methods to verify passenger totals, and the hearing was continued.
