In my area the subway system has still not recovered from pre-pandemic ridership levels. It has made me wonder if the kind of people who rode the subway were more likely to work from home. But at the same the the roads are also less busy than they were, at least judging from the amount of congestion delays we experience on a day to day basis. This is good and bad. The good is that I can almost always get a seat on a train that used to be packed shoulder to shoulder standing room only. The bad is that the fare went from $3.10 to $5.50 each way.

I suspect there is a cause & effect relationship between these two observations. But which is which?

The fare increase happened about a week ago.
