Ridership plummeted to around 10-15 percent of normal last week, but you still have more than 500,000 daily riders.
Obviously, health workers and others still need to go to work somehow but although you take 90 percent out of packed NYC subway cars and platforms, you still have plenty passengers for the virus to continue spreading.
