Tw2ptqc4kuu

Loyola station ridership decreased by 76.4 percent during December 2020 compared to the previous year, according to the Chicago Transportation Authority.

The CTA calculates ridership by counting the customers who board a transit vehicle (bus or rail). The station that saw the largest decrease in ridership was Merchandise Mart station with a 90.5 percent drop.

Train transit experienced a 77 percent decline in ridership overall during the month. Bus ridership across the city during the same month saw a decrease of 59.9 percent year over year. The bus route that saw the largest decrease was the Stockton/LaSalle Express with a decrease of 95.7 percent.

So far, the CTA has made no service cuts, even with the decrease in ridership. The Metra, which provides service to many of Chicago’s suburbs, has seen a 97 percent decrease in ridership, according to the Active Transportation Alliance. According to the Federal Transit Authority, Chicago’s public transportation sector received $1.43 billion in bailout funds from the CARES act to combat the decrease in ridership.
