Student Riders
Student MetroCards are distributed by schools to eligible students from kindergarten through twelfth grade. It's easy to figure out where kids with student MetroCards go to - they go to school. But where else? We decided to take a look. Below is a snapshot of the top ten subway stops where Student cards were used from March 3-9, 2012.
If you think you know why a particular station is visited so heavily by students, send us an email at data@fabernovel.com - we'd love to hear your insights!
