Ridership
Average weekday ridership
for the month of October 2021 was 103,262, up by 27,724 or 37% from the
previous year. Fiscal year-to-date ridership
is at 11,436,963, up by 39% from the previous year.
While ridership continues
to recover in 2021, it is still approximately 40 percent lower than
pre-pandemic level. It is uncertain when ridership will fully recover and it
will depend on loosening State and City restrictions, change in work
environment (i.e. work from home), University students fully returning to in
person instruction and tourism recovery (especially from international visitors).
·
On-Time Performance
System-wide on-time performance
is at 74.6% for the month of October 2021. Out of 106 total routes, 37 routes exceeded
on-time performance at 80% and two (2) routes performed under 50%.
The DTS and OTS Service
Review Committee reviews service levels, including on-time performance monthly.

Maintenance
As a result of the COVID
pandemic, the spare ratio is above our normal 20% requirement due to low
ridership.
