in contrast, the @MBTA’s highest post-Covid subway ridership day was on June 16 2022, the last Thursday before they cut service by over 20% Since mid-June ‘22 > NYC subway ridership is up ~12% > MBTA subway ridership is down ~10%
COVID Era Ridership update: Yesterday's subway ridership of 3,946,310 was the highest single-day total since March 12, 2020. So close to 4 million paid trips.
#Nature will launch a new journal in 2024: Nature Cities, and is hiring a full-time editor (e.g., post-doc in urban engineering). The Chief Editor contacted me if I had anyone to recommend. Let me know if you would like an introduction. Learn more at careers.springernature.com/job/London-Ass…
Effective immediately, out of an abundance of caution, the Red, Orange, Blue, & Green Lines will operate at speeds of 10-25mph following findings by the Department of Public Utilities during a recent site visit of the Red Line between Ashmont & Savin Hill.
