NYC Subway Ridership Up But Still Lags Pre-Pandemic Levels

Despite recently hitting a record 2.57 million riders on one weekday, New York City subway and bus ridership still is only half of what it used to be before the pandemic.

Christina Radigan, chief marketing officer of the Out of Home Advertising Association of America, joined Cheddar News' Michelle Castillo to talk about its new study on consumer travel trends, how comfortable people are getting back on public transportation, and the campaign to get people to do local New York City activities and events.
