ETS Bus and General Transit Improvements

[TAS]

I read somewhere that LRT ridership breached pre-pandemic levels in September, I'm not sure if I read that correctly, so don't quote me on that.

Yes and by pre-pandemic they mean 2019 levels, which weren't as high as 2014 levels. Our population has also grown by 15% since just 2019 so as a mode share, public transit is actually decreasing. The only thing actually increasing in terms of mode share is travel by vehicle - which of course just leads to more congestion and costs to city.

Traffic counts are actually stable due to increases in working from home, delivery service replacing shopping, and approved active transportation infrastructure.

Source? Maybe true for 2022, no way that is accurate for traffic volumes in 2024.
