Ridership trend by year - every day of the week

Since the summer of 2020, marked by the first easing of measures, ridership has experienced a growing trend: Thus, when comparing the ridership between January and March 2025 with the same period in previous years, we observe the same dynamic with million users in 2023, 56 million in 2024, and 58 million in 2025. Over time, the "chronic" loss due to the rising of teleworking has been gradually offset by population growth.
