chart of annual number of transit commuters in Alberta in 2016, 2021, 2022 and 2023 showing that while transit ridership has increased since 2021, it still has not recovered to 2016 levels
  • Survey data has been released representing the number of people in Alberta who identify as a commuter and who use transit as their primary mode of commuting.
  • After a significant drop in commuter numbers in 2021 because of the pandemic, transit commuters are on the rise during the subsequent two years.
  • This is positive news for both the economy and commercial real estate. More commuters mean that more people are leaving their homes to work and conduct business in offices, industrial parks, and retail spaces.
