Transportation
A New Map of New York's 'Subway Deserts'
An update to a previous project looks at areas in the city where it takes the longest to get to a subway stop.
When you think of New York City, you don’t really think of a lack of transit. But there are places in the city from where it takes more than 10 minutes to walk to the nearest subway stop. In New York City minutes, that’s practically a week.
Urbanist and data wizard Chris Whong has created a new map showing the areas that city’s transit system hasn’t penetrated to the same degree as others. This is an update to his previous map of “subway deserts” we featured here on CityLab.
