A sign that NYC is starting to recover from the pandemic: the subways are slowly getting crowded again. Yay?
Now be careful what you wish for. They are finally coming back.
None of that is back yet. But one-third to one-half of the seats were taken on an uptown No. 2 train pulling into 14th Street in Manhattan on Friday morning, which is a whole lot more than you could have said a month ago. A few stragglers were even standing by the doors. But those are not the measures that matter most to New York subway riders. Their calculations are always more personal.
Kramer was doing what she could for safety, keeping her arms folded, not touching anything and covering her face with a black-cloth mask. Mask wearing isn’t at 100% in the subway these days, but it’s awfully close. And the cars are still looking spiffy from the overnight shutdowns and the extra attention of New York City Transit’s cleaning crews.
According to Mayor Bill de Blasio, subway ridership is up 75% from the COVID low. Bus ridership is up 57%. Traffic is up 23% on the East River bridges and 17% on the Harlem River bridges. Those numbers do sound promising, though in some cases the city’s stay-at-home policies had cut human movement as much as 90%.
