Combined ridership and revenue levels for 10 of Canada's largest urban transit properties decreased in July compared with the same month last year.
These 10 companies represent about 80% of total urban transit across the country.
Ridership levels fell 2.6% compared with the same month a year earlier to 108.3 million passenger trips in July.
High ridership in July 2008 may be at least partially attributed to the summer spike in gasoline prices.
The decrease in ridership in July pulled revenue (excluding subsidies) down 2.5% from July 2008 to $196.5 million.
