Subject: very recent transit report (USA) fyi

Hello and happy Wednesday to all.

I just received this transit ridership report in my emailbox and thought if might be worth sharing with the group. I have not read all of this report, but some of the case studies (page 43-73) are interesting.

Here is the link to the 2020 Ridership Trends:    https://drive.google.com/open?id=1dd1xVObc7sTZrJH080AxeQ1TfGR9DaMO

Moreover, a recent NYC Transit report, which I was asked to comment on for one of the local media outlets. The February 2020 Crime Report is on PDF page 101 of the report. Overall, the crime numbers are very, very very, low (considering the 184-million ridership in January 2020 (see PDF page 108). But we have some very interesting trends occurring here in NYC, many people think these big increases in crime from month to month is a result of the new 'bail reform' laws that we have in NY (these are NY State laws, which also apply to NYC).  Some of the initial (media) reports suggest that 85%-90% of those arrested are back on the street the same day (as opposed to not making bail and staying in the NYC Jail until trial).

It will be interesting to see how this new bail reform law (and the possibility of new 500 new police for the NYC transit system) will impact crime in the NYC transit system.....

Hope everyone is doing well,
