The MTA set a new post-pandemic subway ridership record with a seven-day high of 26.8 million riders between Monday, Sept. 8 and Sunday, Sept. 14, according to Gov. Kathy Hochul.

…

Delving into the stats, the agency’s NYC Transit recorded 4.1 million riders on the subway on Monday; 4.44 million on Tuesday; 4.48 million on Wednesday; 4.51 million on Thursday; and 4.2 million riders on Friday.

I felt like the subway system had been busier lately, and very happy to see rider stats moving in the right direction.
