New York’s public transport usage has risen to almost half the typical level before the coronavirus outbreak, a recovery that has yet to extend to the restaurant industry.

Demand for trains, buses and city bikes this week improved to 53% below pre-Covid 19 levels, compared with a 57% decline last week, according to Moovit App Global Ltd. data.
