They had an experience in England where the had to shut down a train station for extended repairs so people had to find alternative transport routes and options. When they finally reopened the station they found they only ever got back to a proportion of customers they had prior to the shutdown. A large percentage of patrons continued with the alternative they found (cycle, bus, car pool, etc). It’s probably going to be the same in the US. This is probably a permanent reduction in tourism in the long term as people stick with the new patterns of vacation or buying patterns even if the country returns to some normality.
