Have you ever wondered where everyone riding the subway is going? Introducing our new Subway Origin-Destination Ridership Estimate open datasets!

Here's an example: This map visualizes trip destinations from the Court Square station for Saturdays in June 2024, with arc thickness determined by the number of users.

This summer, the Whitney is getting out of the galleries and hopping on the subway in a partnership with the Metropolitan Transportation Authority. 🚇 Next stop: New York Transit Museum! Housed in an authentic subway station in Downtown Brooklyn, the Transit Museum is accessible by over 20 (!) bus and subway lines. Join us at the Transit Museum this Saturday, July 27, for a special artmaking activity inspired by the 2024 #WhitneyBiennial. We'll be creating colorful signs and sticker tile images, drawing inspiration from artist Jane Dickson, whose painting Save Time (2020) you may remember from the 2022 Biennial. A large-scale vinyl installation of Save Time is also currently installed on the facade of a former retail space at the West Fourth Street MTA station. Get all the details below. See you there!
