According to a new report from the American Public Transportation Association, public transportation ridership rose to more than 70 percent of pre-pandemic levels in September.
After falling significantly during the COVID-19 pandemic, ridership has begun a climb back to pre-pandemic levels, APTA said. In April 2020, during stay-at-home emergency orders across the country, ridership levels fell to 20 percent of pre-pandemic levels. Levels have since risen to more than 70 percent of pre-pandemic levels, APTA said on its Ridership Trends Dashboard.
