Raincheck: a weather report for NYC buses

rainchecknyc.com Observed source

Editorial interest 82/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

An interactive map investigating whether rain slows New York City buses, and where the effect appears.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-28 issue.

Field notes

The interface separates storm replay, flood history, and live weather, with one shared colour ramp for the selected map measure. Its data notes identify NOAA AORC for historical rain, MRMS radar-only estimates for the live panel, and a 2017–2024 bus-position archive. MTA-derived vehicle and alert layers remain marked GATED because redistribution terms are described as unverified, while the page also records an unavailable trip-delay decoder.
