[OC] How far the NYC subway actually takes you in 60 minutes
I'm the creator of subway.fyi, that uses historical data to forecast outages (sometimes 30 minutes ahead of the MTA), and allows replays of every incident in the system.
I keep hearing about the 15-minute city, and I wanted to see how far you could get in the city in 15, 30, or 60 minutes during a morning rush hour. This was the result!
- Times Square.
- Coney Island
- Jamaica
Feedback welcome of course.
Tools: Python, NumPy, SciPy, Matplotlib, TimescaleDB. Data: MTA GTFS-Realtime, captured myself. More data at subway.fyi.
