Seems more likely they'll adjust salaries to reflect the standard of living in the area their employees relocated to.

A few days in gridlocked roads will convince many to take public transportation. I-5 is close now. Luckily I go against the flow

Last time I took the light rail from Downtown to Seatac I saw a guy give himself a Covid vaccine under the awning of the pay booth.

A few years ago transit compiled records and realized they had an assault once every hour. Hobo druggies basically live on buses and rail, they are euphemistically called "non-destination riders." On top of that you have pervs and severely mentally ill. Add the WuFlu to that and I can't imagine you'll have many takers. Besides, traffic has gotten better since the pandemic so why would anyone want to walk, wait, rider, transfer, walk, wait, ride when they can just drive from point A to point B in their own private comfortable car?
The transit pimps are usually unreasonable ideologues who can't be reasoned with or NIMBY liars who claim to use it but never do.
