"But when we look at commuter traffic, people coming in and out of the city to work were still well below pre-pandemic levels. Metro-North at 78%, still 22% below pre-pandemic levels. LIRR 76%. And the subways only at about 65% capacity," Silver says.
So the good news is mass transit isn't overcrowded, and you are likely to get a seat. The bad news? Driving to work may be maddening with all the traffic.
