I don’t see how there won’t be massive cuts given the large shift to remote work that will never completely go back to the way it was. Even if 90% of downtown workers return to their offices (unlikely), that leaves a 10% reduction in revenue which is huge.

The ideal is shifting to an environment where people are using transit for things like shopping, errands, etc. That kind of ridership hasn't declined really, it's just that we had previously built transit systems around getting people to their jobs

Yep! So maybe they cut some of the commuter schedules heading into town but keep the routes that run between smaller communities, shopping areas, etc…

Less than a quarter of PRT's revenue, pre covid, came from the farebox
