N2 - Subway systems play an essential role in big cities, such as New York City, where more than half of its population relays on public transportation. Commuting times for riders can be altered by small delays such as dwell times, up to massive events (e.g. hurricanes, flooding). This work proposes a micro-event insight into commuting time variations through Discrete Event Simulation. For validation purposes New York City, and in particular line 7 of the subway system is used as a case study. The simulation can be adjusted to other subway systems and can be expanded to include specific type of disruptions. The results, from a general disruption, shows great changes in commuting times, practically exponential. Capacity of trains should be included in future work and more data if it becomes available.
