PATH will eventually get back to "normal", but yeah, a bit disappointing that there's such a long way to go.

Average Saturday March 2022: 72,243
Average Sunday March 2022: 56,159
Average Saturday March 2019: 106,134
Average Sunday March 2019: 69,640
Saturday has recovered 68.1 percent
Sunday has recovered 80.1 percent
If weekend and night service was improved, the weekend numbers would surpass the prior peak in no time. I'm willing to bet that all the new residences being built along the PATH line is the main catalyst for the quicker weekend recovery. They may not hold a 9-5 job in the city, but they occasionally socialize there.
I'm in the city now and definitely feels as busy as ever. Summer ridership numbers will be interesting to watch.
