Is anyone packing into metros anymore? I doubt this pandemic will be good for public transit.

When businesses and stores are even partially open in transit-centric cities, what choice do people have? Even if more walk/cycle, that can involve a lot of crowding too. There's no way that people somewhere like Manhattan can maintain separation from each other indefinitely--other than moving out of the city.

They will be once things open back up.

In non-car-centric cities there simply isn’t any other realistic way to get to work.

Yeah. See the pictures of the tube in London, today - people crammed in like sardines, as per usual.
