In 2022, global averages were 26% below 2017 figures. Public transport is crucial for urbansustainability and citizens' rights, but it relies on passengers for viability. Our study focuses on theMetropolitan Region of São Paulo, analyzing passenger numbers from 2017 to 2022 for subways,urban rail, city buses, and metropolitan buses, along with individual motorized transport.
