What it does
We asked subway riders. They ratted out their furry friends. 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. More than 1.4 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. These three stations had the highest percentage of rat spottings over the past 30 days. It needs at least 10 reports from riders in the past 30…from transitapp.com
