Having spent Christmas in New York, I was surprised to see the Subway fully working a Sunday service (which itself is 24 hours on most routes), along with various the commuter lines and some long distance Amtrak routes operating. Having travelled through Penn Station on Christmas morning, there were certainly enough people getting on and off the Subway trains.
I was told it is a normal situation and even on such as Thanksgiving and Independence day, the trains and subway still run.
Mind you there was an awful lot of tourists in NYC itself and staff are needed to service their needs. Most shops were open Christmas Day as well.
Boxing Day doesn’t exist in the USA – it is straight back into a normal working day for most people after Christmas Day.
