NEW YORK -- Riders have returned to the subway, but the MTA says numbers are still below pre-pandemic levels.

The New York state comptroller says before COVID, the MTA saw well over 125 million riders per month.

Currently, it's around 60-70% of that.

The state is urging the MTA to use available funds to make service more reliable and improve safety to help bring riders back.
