Urban transit ridership is the highest it's been in years, according to data from Statistics Canada. StatCan_eng | urbanliving realestatenews transit Canada
Strong job growth and a reinvigorated return to the office propelled ridership on Canada’s urban public transit networks to their highest level since March 2020., an estimated 118.4M trips were taken on urban transit networks across Canada in January 2023. The figure represents 73.6% of January 2019 ridership levels, the highest rate of recovery since the onset of the pandemic.
Although ridership fell short of the pre-COVID benchmark by about 42.5M rides, it has increased significantly over the course of a year. Just 64.8M trips were taken in January 2022 as the Omicron variant kept Canadians at home and off of public transit. On a monthly basis, ridership increased 9.6% from December 2022; pre-pandemic, trips typically increased 8% between December and January as workers and students returned from the holiday break.The rise in ridership can be attributed, in part, to strong job growth.
With Canadians back on buses, subways, and streetcars, transit agencies’ operating revenues spiked to $267.6M in January, an annual increase of $102.8M. The figure represents 76.5% of January 2019 levels.
