While still not at pre-pandemic levels, subway ridership continues to set new high watermarks in the push to return to normalcy.
Ridership is stuck around 60% of what it was before the city shut down, MTA Chairman and CEO Janno Lieber said, adding that part of it is office workers still working from home.
Ridership on both railroads and the subway have been steadily growing as major companies began to bring employees back to the office starting in March, and the four highest pandemic-era ridership days on the subway have all been recorded in May 2022. Both railroads have reached new pandemic-era ridership highs in each of the past 3 weeks.
One of those initiatives is the recently announced DineAWAY campaign, an extension of the existing MTAAway, which helps riders plan day trips without taking a car. DineAWAY is a joint campaign designed to bring back riders to the MTA, while supporting independent restaurants at the heart of New York City boroughs and surrounding neighborhoods.
