Transit ridership continues to lag across the country and at Metro, where the rail system averaged 138,000 daily trips last week, about 12,000 fewer than a month ago and less than a quarter of average daily ridership in 2019. Metrobus is operating about two-thirds as many daily trips compared with two years ago. The bus system averaged 196,000 daily trips last week, an increase of about 13,000 from the same period last month.
