Over time, the use of the environmental travel pass has experienced fluctuations, particularly during the years 2020 and 2021. These years saw a decline in usage, likely influenced by the Covid-19 pandemic, which restricted movement and reduced the need for public transportation.

This trend suggests a resilient demand for sustainable travel options as communities adapt to post-pandemic life and continue to prioritize environmentally friendly transportation solutions.
