U.S. public transit: Number of unlinked passenger trips 1995-2023
In 2023, figures for the unlinked passenger trips in the U.S. amounted to over 7.1 billion unlinked passenger trips. After years of oscillating around the 10 billion passenger trips margin, the public transportation ridership in the U.S. dropped dramatically to 4.6 billion trips in 2020, caused primarily by the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2022, figures for unlinked passenger trips began showing signs of revival in the post-pandemic era.
