It was also noted by the company that the largest increase was seen from Tallinja card users, which noted a good 12.6% rise. The company said that card users travel more regularly, seemingly choosing public transport over private transport.

The highest record was on the 8th of August. Over 186K commuters were recorded in just one single day.

The highest amount of passengers that used the bus on any given day in 2017 on the other hand, was that of 164K.
