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. ) Source: http://www.nycvisit.com/content/index.cfm?pagePkey=268 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.

The airports: Number of airport passengers 77.5 million pa Source: http://www.essentialbigapple.com/facts.html # '...departures from Penn Station New York, respectively, will have two additional cars per train, resulting in 230 more seats per train.' %5BSource: http://www.njtransit.com/ta_adjustment_project.jsp?ID=389%5D
