Subway, Metro-North ridership hit highest level since start of pandemic
NEW YORK -- Gov. Kathy Hochul says ridership on the New York City subway and on Metro-North has reached its highest level since the start of the pandemic in 2020.
More than 188,000 riders took Metro-North on Tuesday, and 3.7 million took the subway.
That's still lower than pre-pandemic levels.
The MTA says the average weekday ridership on the subway in 2019 was just shy of 5.5 million.
