Convenient lifestyle

The state of the New York City subway is one of stagnation. The hesitancy toward expansion is holding back the city from economic growth opportunities and more accessible, reliable travel for more residents across the city. As other global cities continue to build and enhance their subway systems, New York will need to do the same to continue its reputation as a global center for business, tourism, and culture.

Expanding the subway system is a monumental but important task. In response to these problems, we have collected data on subway turnstiles, socioeconomic factors, building use, and company location, and proposed 8 hypotheses for the locations of new subway lines to be evaluated. With data analysis and connectivity models, we will analyze the advantages and disadvantages of each hypothesis to help decision makers select the optimal subway plan.
