- 1. Passenger Bus and Urban Transit Statistics ArchivedTable: 53-215-XDescription:
Investment, operating revenues, expenses, and other statistics on urban transit system, intercity, charter, sightseeing and shuttle services are outlined in this on-line publication. Also included are data analysis, methodologies, a glossary and an excerpt on data quality. Beginning in 1997 immediately following the presentation of data is a special analytical study.
Release date: 2002-07-22 - 2. Factors Affecting Urban Transit Ridership ArchivedJournals and periodicals: 53F0003XGeography: CanadaDescription:
For several years, urban transit ridership in Canada has been declining. In the late 1990s, ridership began to stabilize but at a level well below the peaks reached in previous years. Many have postulated reasons for the decline, including the dominance of the automobile, changes in work locations and hours, increasing fares, decreasing subsidies and increasing suburbanization.
Using data from approximately 85 Canadian urban transit service providers, over a period of 8 years, this paper outlines the empirical results of analysis to measure factors that have affected urban transit ridership. Among the key goals of this project was the development of measures of fare elasticity.
Demographic, socio-economic and level of service variables were used in the research to explain changes in ridership. A variety of dummy variables was also used to account for structural differences.
The paper concludes with an examination of major Canadian cities that carry the majority of all commuters in the country.
