Notes
1. Source: Canadian Urban Transit Association and Ontario Urban Transit Association
2. Sample accounts for more than 95 percent of public transport ridership.
3. Data not available for five of 25 metropolitan areas over 100,000 (Chicoutimi, Trois Rivieres and Sherbrooke, Quebec, St. John, New Brunswick and St. John's, Newfoundland. All of theses metropolitan areas are in the 100,000 to 250,000 category).
4. Statistics Canada does not designate metropolitan areas below 100,000. Data for this category is based upon a sample of the 10 public transport systems in Ontario with service areas from 40,000 to 99,999 in 1994.
