    Question #20182. Asked by Clara. (Jul 01 02 11:52 AM)

    My numbers are much higher than your question requests but my guess is that you could mean
    1.The Port Authority Bus Terminal
    The world's busiest bus terminal, a western anchor of Times Square, serves 58 million riders a year. During 2001, the terminal handled over 2.2 million bus movements (arrivals and departures) and 57 million passenger trips. On a typical weekday, approximately 7,200 buses and about 200,000 people use the bus terminal.
    (17,600 buses criscross Times Square every weekday. )

    or
    2. Times Square subway
    3281 trains run through Times Square every weekday.
    Trains have on average 10 cars. (Each car carries 115 passengers)#
    'This new Train 3879 will provide customers with an additional 1,150 seats.'#
    Assuming the trains are always full...That's 4,460,850 passengers per day Making 25 million a week. Source:http://216.239.51.100/search?q=cache:xoj-AK5Z6wgC:www.timessquarebid.org/bookshelf/annual_report.pdf+times+square+subway+passengers+visitors and hl=en and ie=UTF
    or maybe
    3.
