With demand for mass transit having plummeted during the coronavirus stay-at-home orders, what will life on buses and trains look like when we return to normal?

We have heard from many regular transit commuters who have turned to their cars for their trips. They say it is much faster than transit because the roads are so open. They also say they do not want to ride in trains or buses right now for fear of getting the coronavirus.

Will those commuters return to transit or will they stay in their cars, adding even more congestion to our roads? Let us know what you’ve been doing by voting in our poll below, and what you plan to do in the comments section.
