Before the pandemic, Nick Guillermo’s usual commute was primarily trains and buses.

"Normal commutes, stuff like that," he said.

Then, during the pandemic, he says, "I switched it up. I normally started taking Citi Bikes and just cabs more, like solo travel."

“I didn’t wanna be around that many people it’s too crowded," he said. "The city’s already crowded but why make it more crowded when it's a pandemics going on."

And the MTA needs riders like Guillermo - who is taking a Citi Bike home from the Upper West Side to East Harlem from his job as a lab technician - to come back to mass transit.  More at www.CooperandAnthony.com, and watch us nightly at 7pm EST https://www.twitch.tv/cooperandanthony
