ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit
(06-27-2022, 11:34 AM)danbrotherston Wrote: Transit ridership drops in the summer. I believe the main driver is that many students leave. I think a secondary reason is that some people bike or walk when they might ride transit in the winter.

I recently came across this photo (Source, which is interesting: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/ar...6516301831)

While there are a lot of different ways to look at modal share, at least this measurement shows that high rates of cycling primarily take away from transit usage (though the distinction between transit and train isn't clear to me). This is true for me personally as well, I take the ION a lot more during the winter, and bike more during the warmer months, for the same trips.
