Challenges Ahead
- Some current macroeconomic uncertainty.
- Transit businesses are still experiencing the significant impact of the ongoing novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic.
- Total transit and other revenues in the U.S. Media segment are expected to incrementally improve in 2022, but still remain materially below pre-COVID-19 pandemic levels until 2023.

- Transit franchise expenses, such as transit franchise payments, as a percentage of revenues, are expected to decrease in 2022 as compared to 2021, but be higher in 2022 than pre-COVID-19 pandemic levels, primarily due to the guaranteed minimum annual payment amounts owed to the MTA and other transit franchise partners as total transit and other revenues incrementally improve in the future.
