Commuter Rails Are Still in Recovery Mode

Did you know most commuter rail systems haven’t bounced back since the pandemic? Ridership is still way down, and the money from those big COVID relief packages is basically gone. Some rail lines are trying new tricks—like free youth passes and more flexible schedules—but with costs up and fewer riders, things are looking rough. If fares go up, will even more people ditch the train? Wild to see how much our commutes have changed! #CommuterRail #PublicTransit #PandemicImpact #UrbanLife #TransitTrends #Transportation
