Evidence

Classification and station identity come from Official MTA station and equipment data. Live conditions can temporarily change a usable path without changing the static classification.

Methodology

MinuteMap keeps station classification, directional limits, equipment dependencies, schedules, live signals, and uncertain street connections as separate evidence.

Limitations

A station-level classification does not prove that every entrance, platform, transfer, curb, or connecting sidewalk is continuously step-free.
