Why the vaccine won't do much for transit ridership |
|
Posted by Peter Rosa on Wed Dec 2 15:47:26 2020 Transit ridership won't see any significant increases until people now working from home return to the office. While the vaccine might very well bring them back, because supplies will be limited for quite some time the authorities will have to allocate it by priority. That's of course the appropriate thing to do, but under most proposals people under 65 or 70 with no major health conditions and who aren't classified as essential employees will be last in line. And that describes a very high percentage of commuters. |
