Code:
Edmonton 1978: 478,000 / 6.9 km = 69275 people / system km
Edmonton 2017: 1,062,643 / 24.3 km = 43730 people / system km
Calgary 1981: 593,000 / 12 km = 49416 people / system km
Calgary 2017: 1,392,609 / 59.9 km = 23248 people / system km
Waterloo Region 2017: 583,500 / 19 km = 30710 people / system km
Kitchener-Waterloo 2017: 309,654 / 19 km = 16297 people / system km
