Says someone who doesn't take public transport. It's definitely coming back to life. I personally ride the MARC train and in the past two months, it has doubled in ridership. Definitely beats sitting on 270.

Eventually they won’t find a better schedule anyway if all the agencies don’t hire like that.

A thing where you are exposed to even more Covid germs than driving in your car.
Covid is over.
And yet, for many of us, WFH remains.
What a world.

Yeah. Since people only commute 3x week, they tolerate driving more and shun transit. Basically some days we have as much as 50% pre pandemic occupancy but with worse traffic because 90% now drive.
