\n The coronavirus pandemic has demolished New York City\u2019s for-hire vehicle workforce, newly released city data shows.<\/p>\n

The number of working drivers stood at 30,675 in June, the Taxi and Limousine Commission said Wednesday \u2014 a 75 percent drop from the 108,880 who drove for-hire vehicles in March.<\/p>\n

For-hire trip<\/a>s dropped as much as 84 percent in March and April amid the depths of the outbreak, according to the TLC\u2019s stats.<\/p>\n

Trip have rebound some what since then \u2014 though app<\/a>-based services like Lyft and Uber are recovering faster than taxis.<\/p>\n

June saw 251,696 trips by per day for \u201chigh volume for-hire services,\u201d a category that include app-based companies, compared to 750,000 daily trips in February, according to the TLC.<\/p>\n

Yellow and green taxis, meanwhile, saw 20,428 trips per day in June compared to more than 200,000 in February.<\/p>\n

The Uber drivers who remain are also earning more than their taxi counterparts: The average app-based driver took home $1,160 per week in June, $262 more than the average hack, the TLC said.<\/p>\n

The data matches up with trends observed on New York City\u2019s subways, where ridership has rebounded somewhat since falling by over 90 percent compared to pre-pandemic levels.<\/p>\n

Taxi industry analyst Bruce Schaller, a former city transportation official, said the numbers are consistent with longstanding trends.<\/p>\n

Schaller said taxi drivers are more likely to be out because they have to make loan payments on their TLC-issued medallions.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s kind of like schools. Everyone got hit, but the people suffering the worst before suffered the most here,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

New York Taxi Workers Alliance Executive Director Bhairavi Desai conceded \u201cowner-drivers\u201d may have been more likely to keep working through the crisis.<\/p>\n

But Desai said the pandemic was a \u201cwake-up call\u201d for drivers, many of whom are older and plagued by hundreds of thousands of dollars of medallion debt.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
