[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Blaming Wiedelfeld for the fact that revealed preferences confirm that people really hate taking public transit?

Air Travel = 100% pre-COVID
Car Traffic = 100% pre-COVID
Rail Ridership = 35% pre-COVID[/quote]

Not a great comparison.  Many people are still working from home that used subways. Those that are not are more likely to drive then before for safety and  they are replacing former drivers who now telework.  Completely different audience then planes.[/quote]
You have not addressed the question of why people who are not working from home reluctant to take Metro.

Second, air travel is a great metric because it shows that people are willing to undertake a similar behavior of rising in a closed compartment with strangers for a long period of time.

Third, it points to an important factor for that is likely driving working from home: people hate commuting via public transit and particularly Metrorail. It’s not just COVID that is keeping people out of offices, if they are willing to travel by air and go to restaurant, etc.
