ridership

Transit agencies across the nation have been hit hard during a pandemic that has ravaged their ridership and budgets.

The losses are driven by low ridership, which on the rail system has rarely risen above 30 percent of pre-pandemic levels.

Officials previously have said they might seek more federal assistance at that time to bridge the gap unless ridership rebounds.

Of its 15 long-distance routes, the Crescent ranked 10th in ridership in the 2019 fiscal year, with 295,000 riders — or roughly 400 per trip per day — costing Amtrak $36 million more than it brought in.

With overall mobility revenue down 53% year-over-year, the ride-hailing and delivery giant, which remains unprofitable, also has a dire need to ramp up ridership, particularly once online restaurant orders start to come down back to earth.

Subway ridership is increasing, he added, and commuters are becoming more judgmental.

Its daily ridership averages under 7,000, and runs along 10 routes.

The passenger-rail behemoth sucks up more taxpayer dollars than ever, and its ridership gains are merely a blip.

When dedicated safe bike lanes are established in our cities, female ridership goes up dramatically compared with male ridership.
