But there were still more than four times as many people working from home than before the pandemic.
More than a quarter of a million Bay Area residents returned to offices and other workplaces last year as companies across the region overhauled their pandemic-era remote work policies, a Bay Area News Group analysis of newly released census data found.
How work-from-home trends continue to evolve in the Bay Area, which has embraced remote work more than any other part of the country, could have far-reaching implications for the region’s economy, transit agencies and urban job hubs still struggling with high office vacancies and empty storefronts. “Now, we’re saying the solution is hybrid,” Hancock said. “We don’t have to choose one or the other. You can have your cake, and you can eat it too.”
As more people began commuting to work, the share of Bay Area workers taking public transportation doubled from 3% to 6%, according to the data. But that was still less than half the 15% that took buses and trains before the pandemic. The lack of riders is the main reason state lawmakers in June agreed to a $3 billion bail-out for local transit agencies, though fare hikes and service cuts could still be on the horizon if ridership doesn’t continue to improve.
