You've seen the pictures, now here are the charts.
Friend of Streetsblog Todd Schneider, admitting he had "some extra free time on my hands" created a graphic representation of the subway system's freefall in ridership since the coronavirus hit in earnest.

Meanwhile, ridership on Metro-North, the commuter railway from the relatively wealthy northern suburbs, is down 94 percent. The Long Island Rail Road is down 76 parent. Bus ridership is down 61 percent.
