Moreover, public transit has poor modal share here relative to the size of the city. Canadian modal shares are typical for those of a Western European country, so Halifax clusters with Brescia, Lausanne, and Rennes, all similarly sized, at around 13-14%, c.f. KW at 7.5%.
Where do you get 7.5% transit modal share for K-W from? I can only see about 5% from StatCan.
I considered just Kitchener and Waterloo, discounting the townships and Cambridge. This is because I used GHSL urban area definitions for counting population, and the GHSL shape for KW is more or less just the 2 cities. Moreover, I considered 2016 census data. The international figures I have are all pre-pandemic; moreover the decisionmaking for iON was done before the pandemic. The 2021 census has a big dip in transit mode share across the contry probably due to pandemic distortion.
