Ridership on the region's commuter bus system has rebounded since the economic shutdown brought on by the coronavirus pandemic.
OmniRide buses are currently operating at 85% capacity of what the transit system had been operating before the pandemic. This number reflects ridership for runs on Monday through Thursday while running a reduced schedule on Fridays.
“Since people are either off work or teleworking on Fridays it makes more sense to run a reduced schedule that day. It also allows Omniride an easier time to maintain our fleet of buses and onboard tech systems. It also allows for flexibility for drivers to spend time with family,” said Schneider.
