Queenslanders slowly returning to public transport post-pandemic, data shows
Queenslanders are slowly returning to public transport after two years of pandemic-hit patronage, with commuter figures hovering around 68 per cent of pre-COVID levels.
Data from the state transport department shows in the week ending May 22, total patronage across busses, light rail and heavy rail sat at 2.6 million trips.
The comparable week ending May 26 in 2019, before the pandemic began, saw patronage figures at 3.8 million trips.
Ferries were not included in the data as they had only recently returned to operation after being taken off the river during the floods.
