"Longtime residents and tourists alike take advantage of all that the City has to offer from iconic holiday markets to elaborate decorations, to big events like the Thanksgiving Day Parade and the Rockefeller Center Tree Lighting. All these people aren't getting around in private cars. They're taking transit, and our team is mindful of the influx of regular and new riders."
"Much like how you might clean up before hosting, New York City Transit also wants the system to look its best power washing high-traffic stations like 34 St-Herald Square ahead of the parade and 42 St-Times Square Station before the ball drop. We send additional personnel to stations to help with crowd control, wayfinding and fare purchases as well. The holidays are prime time for station agents, who aren't just ambassadors to the subways; they're also representatives of New York City."
New York City experiences a major influx of residents and tourists during the holidays, increasing transit ridership for events like the Thanksgiving Day Parade and Rockefeller Center Tree Lighting. New York City Transit is power washing high-traffic stations and increasing cleaning schedules, particularly at 34 St-Herald Square, 42 St-Times Square, and 47-50 Sts-Rockefeller Center, to maintain cleanliness and protect service from debris on tracks. Additional personnel are deployed for crowd control, wayfinding, and fare purchases. Station agents provide customer service and assistance to visitors. On-time performance recently reached 83.4% following introduction of 745 new R211 train cars.
