Ofyub4aby1m

South Shore Night Bus ridership decreased by 55.1 percent during October 2020 compared to the previous year, according to the Chicago Transportation Authority.

The CTA calculates ridership by counting the customers who board a transit vehicle (bus or rail). The route that saw the largest decrease in ridership was Stockton/LaSalle Express with a 95.2 percent drop.

Bus transit experienced a 59.2 percent decline in ridership overall during the month. Train ridership across the city during the same month saw a decrease of 76.9 percent year over year. The train station that saw the largest decrease was the UIC-Halsted station with a decrease of 89.6 percent.

So far, the CTA has made no service cuts, even with the decrease in ridership. The Metra, which provides service to many of Chicago’s suburbs, has seen a 97 percent decrease in ridership, according to the Active Transportation Alliance. According to the Federal Transit Authority, Chicago’s public transportation sector received $1.43 billion in bailout funds from the CARES act to combat the decrease in ridership.
