NYC Subway
Rat Detector

We asked subway riders.
They ratted out their furry friends.

[rat-my-rid]

You got a problem, New York. A big rat problem. But just how many
MTA-riding rodents are out there? And where? We enlisted thousands of
rodent spotters across the five boroughs to rank the rattiest
stations.

[rmr-screen]

More than 1.2 million New Yorkers use Transit every month to get
around, relying on features like GO, our step-by-step navigator.

GO tells you when to leave for your stop, when to transfer, and more.
When we detect that you've arrived at a subway station? We ask if you
see any rats.

The results are in. And the rats? 
They're everywhere.

The rats between the lines...

  * New York's rats are most active after dark, with their swarms
    peaking just after 2 AM. During the day, they are busy tending to
    their brood of ninja turtles.
  * Rats are tunnel people, not bridge people. You are much more
    likely to spot a New York rat at an underground subway station
    than at an elevated one.
  * Much like Pete Davidson, rats prefer Manhattan to Staten Island.
    But the outer boroughs remain home to many of the most rat-prone
    stations.

Rat power?
Or people power?

New York City's sanitation commissioner once proclaimed, "the rats
don't run this city, we do."

Only some New Yorkers agree.

Rat(e)-My-Ride

From accessibility, to cleanliness, to punctuality, to real-time rat
status at the station, Transit uses your feedback to measure transit
quality.

Results are shared with fellow riders, and with transit agency
partners to improve their service.

We call it Rate-My-Ride.
