  • This study analyzes demand fluctuations in urban public transportation systems of São Paulo, New York, Paris, London, and Mexico City before and after the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020.We examined annual passenger data from 2017 to 2022. Pre-pandemic, São Paulo and London saw declining trends, while Paris, New York, and Mexico City remained relatively stable, with minorfluctuations. The pandemic caused a sharp drop in passengers in April and May 2020, followed by varying degrees of recovery. Paris had a robust recovery, São Paulo, London, and Mexico City recovered differently, and New York had a slower rebound. Subway and urban train systems showed stronger recoveries compared to urban buses. Overall, post-pandemic recovery was positive, witha gradual passenger increase each year but still below 2017 levels, indicating changed mobility habits.
