Customer satisfaction on both lines was 92 percent, up from 89 percent in 2015. The New Haven Line came in at 87 percent. Overall, Metro-North had a 90 percent satisfaction rating.

Metro-North's east of Hudson lines improved satisfaction in all time periods:

Peak time satisfaction: 87 percent; up from 81 percent in 2015.
Reverse peak time satisfaction: 94 percent; up from 83 percent in 2015.
Weekday off-peak: 93 percent; up from 84 percent.
weekend off-peak: 95 percent; up from 93 percent.

One of the key drivers to improving the overall satisfaction score was on-time performance. Metro-North had 80 percent of its trains arrive on-time in 2016, up from 74 percent the previous year.
