About Us

 About Us

We are a group of Freshmen who are currently attending CSUN being taught by professor Gerard Meraz Chicano Studies 115 Apprehensive University Writing. We Decided to tackle down the topic of how Covid-19 affected public transport in The United States as a whole and as well as specific states such as California. We all come from similar roots and backgrounds and all felt like this topic was something that struck a chord with us. We all have or know someone who relies on the public transportation system to get to our day-to-day destinations or even work for public transports.

As stated by a COVID-19 behavior blog, during the COVID-19 pandemic, the same workers were frequently left unprotected by the government and institutions, which failed to provide them with adequate protective gear, supplies, and resources to protect them from the virus, resulting in many people quitting or being fired, causing the unemployment rate to rise. “At the end of March 2020, transportation worker activity had fallen nearly 40% below the 2019 normal, and by mid-April 2020, it had fallen nearly 65% below the 2019 average” (Sung & Monschauer, 2020).
