NYC Subway Ridership, by Sha Hwang

A less grokkable, but more colorful and interactive version of this sparkline subway ridership infographic by Mike Frumin. Very nicely done!

(via maniacalrage)

The history of subway ridership tells a story about the history of a neighborhood that is much richer than the overall trend. An example, [above], shows the wild comeback of inner Williamsburg, and how the growth decays at each successive stop away from Manhattan on the L train.

Not only is this interesting to look at, but it’s interactive! Mike Frumin’s explains more about the map on his blog.
