a Location of the 10 selected stations. b Distribution of percentage ridership change per station under heavy precipitation during peak hours; the red dashed line indicates zero percentage change. Median declines range from −7.81% at Grand Central to −28.87% at Columbus Circle, with several stations showing 97.5th percentile values above zero, reflecting diverse behavioral responses among peak-hour travelers.
