The Metro systems around the world with more riders than NYC are in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Seoul, Tokyo, Moscow, Shenzhen, and Hong Kong. That doesn't even vaguely resemble a list of the cities with the worst outbreaks. — PolitiTweet.org

The whole Subway/Covid link has always been founded on the observation that NYC is an outlier in terms of both infections and transit ridership. Obvious robustness check: Are high ridership cities in general Covid hotspots? — PolitiTweet.org

In general there's more transit in Asia than in Europe and more in Europe than in the Western Hemisphere. The observed pattern of Covid-19 is the opposite of that. I wouldn't try to claim that low transit usage causes Covid outbreaks — it's just that masks work. — PolitiTweet.org
