At some point during the pandemic, the turnstiles data seems to have diverged from other ridership data published by the MTA.

Exits currently align more closely with other MTA data, but it’s not clear why the ratio of exits to entries has gone from around 0.8 pre-pandemic, to over 1.5 as of February 2023
