A NYC Subway that's 20% worse than it was 10 years ago

By what metric?

On-time performance has dropped dramatically in the past ten years. In the following article, look for the graph titled, "On-time performance by line, 2007 to 2017".

Thanks very much for the link.

But eyeballing that chart suggests an average deterioration significantly worse than 20 percent.

Delays, primarily. Overcrowding, secondarily.

Numbers, please. (That's what "metric" means, btw).
