For sure they are taking big financial hits



Maybe revised schedule would help a bit, but not a real solution



so many entities are hurting now

Trying to run service at pre covid levels; but many routes see only a small percentage of regular use. Just wondering how long they can keep running buses that pick up less than 10 people per hour???...

It's the same on Calgary Transit Superchecker.

It's weird driving around with no one on the bus

It's weird driving around with no one on the bus; and running 3 double deckers for just 50 passengers... Can't go on indefinitely

Even during peak hours I see a lot of empty seats on buses.

Hey studd, that's happening everywhere. The LRT here during non peak hours is running near empty.

I took the C-Train one month ago on a Saturday and it was standing passenger busy.

I was a little busier today; 31 passengers across 5 hours on my highway bus; and then 19 passengers in 2 hours on my city bus. But 50 passengers in 7 hours isn't very much

They were all women. What woman doesn't want to ride on the bus driven by the sexiest driver in the Lower Mainland.  ac_lovestruck

SC, Barrie Transit buses look empty, even on the busy Bayfield strip.

The buses and trams are generally empty in Melbourne Metro...



My wife has had to use buses a few times over the last 8 weeks and she's been the only one on them....because of the 5k from home rule. Unless you have documentation for a prescribed travel, it's financial suicide risking it.



Just buses and trams driving around without a purpose.

I expected Melbourne transit to be empty, but Superchecker's city is not in lock down.

I drove a double decker today. with 84 seats. Picked up a grand total of 25 people across 4 southbound and 4 northbound trips in 8 hours.

Only twenty five passengers all day.
