Yes, agreed! The Covid crisis has done more to set back public transportation than any issue ever! People (including myself) are in their cars more than ever before, it's our safe space, it's how we eat out, it is how we social distance. The lack of ridership is causing huge financial problems for most public trans systems and most have reduced their schedules and cutback service drastically. These trends will likely continue for years before there is a turnaround. Even post-pandemic, people are not likely to jam shoulder to shoulder in a small transit space for a long time!
