Highlights
In February, ridership on Canada's urban transit networks grew sharply, reaching 78.6 million passenger trips, after experiencing a one-month pause on account of the Omicron-fuelled COVID-19 resurgence.
With the easing of restrictions in February, public transit ridership was able to recover more than half (51.1%) of its pre-COVID-19 level from February 2019—a marked improvement from January's 41.8% recovery rate.
