Does the MTA release ridership (weekday or annual, preferrably annual) statistics for individual stations? If so, where can I find them?

The Second Avenue Subway is supposed to relieve congestion on the Lexington Avenue Line.I'm waiting for the Second Avenue Subway and when it's done, there'll be an entrance across the street from my friend's apartment, literally I can take a train right to her door.

Bowling Green - 6.515m
Wall Street - 6.532m
Spring Street - 3.439m
Astor Place - 5.674m
23 Street - 8.948m
28 Street - 6.366m
33 Street - 8.916m
68 Street - 10.141m
77 Street - 10.370m
86 Street - 17.927m
After 86 Street the numbers gradually decrease, but even on the most heavily patronised systems in the world such as the Tube this is still insane for just one line.
