Top 10 NotSpots: Don't go above 34 St, avoid the mayor's station, and you'll be fine

The top three stations did some place swapping  from Week 4.  52  St & 9 Ave showed improvement, dropping from 3rd place. 
If you pull the Civic Center out of the mix, the bikeless problem stays above 34 St. We say live in Chelsea, work Downtown, play in the Villages and have a nice life.

What’s remarkable here are the goose eggs after both Tillary St. stations. Now Williamsburg, where the nine stations are generally well behaved, hosts the city’s most notorious NotSpot. The unfortunate S 3 & St & Bedford station didn’t serve or accept a bike for 39 hours during and after the slushie.
