West 4th St Station Deep Dive

Data and charts from NYCuriosity's deep dive on West 4th Street–Washington Square, the only station where the IND's two Manhattan trunk lines meet. New York built its lower level eight years before the line it serves existed. These charts trace 94 years of construction and renewal, the station's ridership recovery, its late-night rhythm, and what building subway infrastructure cost then versus now.
