Just over 17 million passengers travelled on scheduled services between Canada and the United States in 2006, up 4.0% compared with 2005 (approximately 16.5 million passengers). This was a record third consecutive year that traffic volumes for scheduled services have been at their highest.
In 2006, the distribution of transborder traffic by province remained relatively unchanged compared with 2005. The majority of all transborder traffic went through Ontario (43.1%).
Toronto (37.3%) and Montréal (15.4%) captured the majority of the traffic between Eastern Canada and the United States, while Vancouver (17.6%) and Calgary (8.7%) attracted most of Western Canada's transborder traffic.
