I find that this article has not met the GA criteria, and I am failing the nomination at this time. This article continues to have several issues that were identified in the previous failed GAN on October 26, 2010.

As the previous GA reviewer noted:

• The lead is too short. Longer articles usually have longer lead sections. Furthermore, the lead section should summarize the key points from all of the article's sections, as per WP:LEAD. The lead section currently provides too much trivial detail that could be omitted or reworded.
• Quoting the regulation on photography is unnecessary.
• There are too many images on both sides, such that text is "sandwiched" between them. See WP:LAYIM.
• Please avoid single-sentence and short paragraphs.

Of course, this list isn't exhaustive, and I encourage you to read the previous GA review at Talk:New York City Subway/GA1. Additional comments of my own:

• Embedded lists should be avoided, as per WP:EMBED.
• Certain statements contain statistics but lack in-line citations. Examples include the final paragraph of "Entertainment" and second paragraph of "Rolling Stock".
