SHANGHAI/GUANGZHOU -- Subway ridership is declining in China as the relaxation of its zero-COVID policy drives up infections, dropping roughly 40% in 10 major cities in the two weeks since the easing began.
Passengers in these cities, including Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, totaled 20.26 million based on Wednesday's 7-day moving average -- down 36% from Dec. 7, when the figure came to 31.66 million.
