If it seems like New York City’s subways are getting more crowded, that’s because they are.

The Metropolitan Transportation Authority says the subway system broke its previous single-day ridership record on five separate days last month.

The MTA announced Wednesday that 6,106,694 customers rode city subways on Sept. 23.

That’s the highest number since daily figures were first recorded in 1985.

Ridership also topped 6 million on four other days last month.

The previous ridership record of 5,987,595 was set on Oct. 24, 2013.

The MTA says subway ridership is approaching levels last seen in the 1940s when far fewer people owned cars.

The MTA notes that decades ago, many customers were counted twice as they transferred between different systems.
