OmniRide’s ridership has begun to rebound from the pandemic in recent months. Average commuter daily ridership for May 2022 is trending to where it’s more than 50 percent of the last full month prior to 2020 pandemic-related closures and reduced services.
OmniRide’s Express (commuter bus) daily ridership increased nine percent this April compared to March and has increased almost 30 percent since February.
