The New York City Subway set a pandemic-era record for daily ridership last week, with 3.94 million riders traveling by mass transit on Thursday, March 16.
That’s the highest ridership numbers recorded on the subways in almost exactly three years, after the 4.1 million people who rode the subways on March 12, 2020, in the waning days of normalcy before the COVID-19 lockdown.
Also on March 16, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority for the first time recorded over 2 million taps onto subways and buses with OMNY, the tap-to-pay system set to fully replace the MetroCard by the end of this year. “People are coming back to our subways as we have made critical investments in service and safety,” said Governor Kathy Hochul in a statement. “Theis the lifeblood of this city, and these ridership numbers demonstrate that New York is continuing to make a strong comeback.”
Subway ridership plummeted as COVID-19 struck the city and officials began telling New Yorkers to stay home and avoid mass transit if possible. By April 2020, the subway had lost more than 90% of its pre-pandemic ridership. Subway riders began trickling back in once the strictest lockdown measures began to be lifted.
But three years later, with virtually all COVID-era restrictions in the past, the MTA is still struggling to bring back all the riders it once had. The nearly 4 million riders on March 16 still represents only 70% of the ridership seen on a comparable pre-pandemic day, according to
