COVID-19 forces public transportation towards a digital future

As national lockdowns were implemented, public transport ridership crawled to a halt. According to Moovit, which tracks public transit usage in more than 100 cities worldwide, some locations saw ridership drop by as much as 90% from February to March. Though many countries are now easing movement restrictions, none of the 108 cities Moovit monitors has seen ridership recover to post-pandemic numbers yet.
