here is the thing right. when we reopen up business, people are left between going to work or lose your unemployment benefits. most people wouldn't be able to afford a car in the city, so increasing in riders isn't exactly an achievement, it's more like it rained so we see more people with umbrella sort of thing. try to open up movie theaters and get a 90%+ seat filled, that's like a real thing to celebrate.
