1 out of 4 weekday and half of weekend subway trains are late shows new data
One out of four weekday subway trains, and half the trains on weekends, are late or fail to make at least some stops, new transit data released Monday shows.
The grim statistics are the result of a less forgiving method of reporting delays by NYC Transit, which previously gave itself a pass for service changes and disruptions planned to allow major construction and maintenance projects to proceed.
The less generous method provides a more accurate reflection of the type of service riders are seeing - or not seeing - on the rails, officials said.
