MISC | Busiest station in your city

[Olabil]

What`s the busiest station in your city? It could be a metro station, railway station or both.

Oslo Central Station has around 150 000 passangers per day, if you include the subway station which is connected to the train station the number would be about 250 000.

The busiest station in the world is Shinjuku Station in Tokyo with a staggering 3,63 million passangers per day.

Now tell me about your city`s busiest station..

According official statisctic of Moscow Metropolitan in 2007:
1. "Komsomolskaya" (Ring Line 5) - 187.078 per day;
2. "Vykhino" (Line 7) - 176.629 per day;
3. VDNKh (Line 6) - 133.897 per day;
4. "Tushinskaya" (Line 7) - 128.781 per day;
5. "Yugo-Zapadnaya" (Line 1) - 128.629 per day;
6. "Scholkovskaya" (Line 3) - 124.201 per day;

[Eindhoove92]

Central Station at Eindhoven, has around 200.000 travelers each day, this includes; Train 55.000 en and bus, taxi and car. It's the sixth most busiest station in the Netherlands, the busiest out side the randstad.

[onetwothree]

In Copenhagen (and Denmark for that matter) the busiest station is Nørreport in the heart of the city. It has a Metro platform, an S-train platform and a platform for regional trains and serves (according to wikipedia) 300 000 people per day.

there are dozens of lines crossing at the station - metro and suburban
according to wiki - 3,4mln of passengers daily in 2008
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shinjuku_Station

The data you provided for Moscow accounts only Metro. But both Vykhino and Komsomol'skaya have suburban directions (suburban lines in russia) as well.

It's a main station for 5 directions: Rizhskoye, Leningradsky, Yaroslavskoye, Kazanskoye and Ryazanskoye. It's also in service of Belorusskoye and Kurskoye directions.


Vykhino have Ryazanskoye and Kazanskoye directions.

[Tri-ring]

The 3.4 mil accounts only the train transit usage, the remaining 240 thousand are people riding in by bus.

So, busiest Moscow metrostation is "Komsomolskaya" (which have cross to Line 1). Busiest Moscow metrostation without cross to other line is "Vykhino".

It's hard to compare with most other metro systems because Moscow Metro "stations" tend to be just the platforms, for instance the four way interchange is counted as four different stations rather than just one, which is how most cities would do it. At first I was surprised that Victoria station on the London Underground had more passengers per day (215,000) than the busiest Moscow Metro station but that's because it's all three lines that serve the station that are counted rather than just the Victoria line, for instance.

[manrush]

Boston's South Station is the busiest station in the entirety of Massachusetts.

1,287,615 travelers on Amtrak alone.

Moscow metro accounts data on turnstiles. That mean a number of passengers passed through the turnstiles on enter. There are no any problems as you have simply to sum all passengers entered to metro on a single complex to get full number. They are not being counted twice anywhere, as they are not counted on interchanges. Suburban railways and Public Transport are not included so nothing in this data doubles.

This data is perfectly absolute and not undercounted or overcounted, like on Japanese station. There is every company counts data on their entrance. So someone who is changed from one operator to another is being counted just like a local entering the station. So the data is overcounted, has a very large error.

[The Chemist]

Shanghai's busiest is People's Square. It is an interchange of 3 lines (Line 1 - 1.4 million ppd, Line 2 - 1million ppd, and Line 8 (600k ppd), and handles a daily traffic of around 400,000 people. It is reportedly the busiest metro station in China.

[Minato ku]

In Paris, it is Chatelet-les-Halles (metro and RER) with 800,000 passengers per day.

That seems really good for Europe. Anyone better?
