Here & Now's Jeremy Hobson continues to broadcast today from New York City, which is home to the largest subway system in the U.S.

It has 468 stations, more than 6,000 subway cars and a record 6 million daily riders, according to the Metropolitan Transportation Authority. But it is also very congested, with delays that rose last year, according to MTA data.
