Original Note:
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
