have recovered much faster, but downtown's coming back and we're starting to see ridership pick up in downtown.

In the rest of the system, ridership's around say 87 percent recovered, downtown is about 67 percent.

But downtown's rate of how quickly it's catching up, it's going much faster than the rest of the city.

Muni was such an integral part of the city and a part of people's lives and we're just noticing different types of trips and there's been all sorts of reasons for people to come downtown and we're starting to see that reflected in the ridership data as well.

The rest of the city is doing really well and so there isn't a ton of room to grow in the rest of the city.

But when it comes to the rail system and when it comes to the downtown area and the lines that feed it, that's where we're seeing that rapid growth in recent months.

Hochberg adds that ridership data across the city as a whole is very promising.

On weekdays, we're seeing recovery hovering around 80% of what it was before the pandemic.
