This interpretation of success is deeply misleading. The comparison is between the height of the pandemic, Feb 2021 and Feb 2023. According to the linked study the more reasonable comparison to pre-pandemic service only shows a 16% improvement in ridership. https://www.wgbh.org/news/local-news/2023/03/06/ridership-on-fare-free-mbta-buses-more-than-doubled-in-programs-first-year

Original Tweet
Tweet embedding is no longer reliably available, due to the platform's instability (in terms of both technology and policy). If the Tweet still exists, you can view it here: https://twitter.com/foo_bar/status/1633054886781673474
Please note, though, that you may need to have your own Twitter account to access that page. I am currently exploring options for archiving Tweet data in a post-API context.
