None of this explains why ridership is below this time in 2020 on a year over year basis. It’s probably going to be an easy Metro ride for you, unless they reduce the frequency of service which is highly likely once pandemic funds run out.

Correct. The explanation for that is

1. 2020 includes January 2020 and February 2021.
2. 2021 only includes January-April 2021.

It’s going to be a miracle if it recovers to 50% pre-pandemic levels in October.

As a prior Metro rider, I will only be going to work 2 days and week and will be driving those days. Thankfully I have a lot of different ways I can go and don’t need to take a freeway. So Waze will be my guide.

I imagine that this will be the choice for a lot of people going back hybrid.

GGW says that, plus Metro and those little scooters parked in the middle of the sidewalk. No one drives cars anymore !

The anti-GGW circlejerk on this board is equally perplexing and pathetic.

Until the road are so full that it is not worth it even for 2 days a week...most people can not avoid highways.

The metro rail is a failed experiment. Buses would have been much more flexible and cost effective. #pavetherails.

I'm perplexed too. Somebody has a lot of time on their hands, I guess?

As is the name-calling by GGW sycophants whenever someone dares push back on them. I realize that's not allowed in the echo-chamber GGW comments section, but it is here.

Oh yes, because falsely posting that GGW says that everyone is going to bike to work or take "Metro and those little scooters parked in the middle of the sidewalk" is definitely a daring way to push back on them and not at all a pathological fixation.

I infer that PP doesn't like being called a NIMBY.
