Based on discussion with Blair Allen who indicated that GRT boardingss on Saturdays are usually two-thirds of a weekday and Sundays are half, the weekday boardings is calculated from the monthly number as
Code:weekday_boardings = monthly_boardings / (weekdays + saturdays*0.67 + sundays*0.5)
Wow. Not hard to tell that ridership fell off a cliff after March 2020. (Coincidentally, that was the last month that I bought a monthly pass myself).
I would be interested in seeing this chart again next year once we reach heard immunity and things return to "normal"
