The proposal includes no planned substantial changes to schedules, as Metra faces continued low ridership and a looming fiscal cliff once federal pandemic aid runs out, but the agency is eyeing service additions or changes as needed. In September, the average number of weekday riders was 54% of pre-pandemic levels.

WFH is here to stay.
Like any biz Metra, CTA, etc. need to right-size their work force.
The Dems closed the economy down for covid but it never occurred to them that end result would be a “right sizing” opportunity of public employee union jobs. The needed right sizing hasn’t happened yet and may never happen as long as Dems get donations from their feather bedded minions. There should be brought forth a proposal anyday to allow illegals to ride public transportation for free to keep up appearances as well as ridership. Wow, could I be a progressive?
