Metro ridership has dropped below past levels on both the train system and bus lines since the June 22 crash, leaving the transit system short millions of dollars in anticipated fares.

The transit system’s bread-and-butter weekday train ridership was down 3.8 percent in July and 2.5 percent in August compared with the same periods the year before, according to a Metro report.
