Transit Use 2024
15 January 2025The tradition of reporting transit riding established in 2014 continues. We biked a lot this summer so took transit much less, and I biked the most I ever have with 64 rides in 2024, which oddly matches my 64 rides in 2024. I counted “unofficial” transfers on the STM as two rides. My rides were paid for using: OPUS (62), and Transit App (2).
| Agency | Fare Media | Total Rides | Total Cost ($) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Big Blue Bus | Transit App | 2 | 3.08 |
| REM | OPUS | 4 | 14.58 |
| STM | OPUS | 58 | 188.89 |
I had no work transit rides in 2024, but I did bike to the client office one time. We took a trip to Los Angeles in April, where we rode the Big Blue Bus to Venice from the airport. We went to St John’s in October, but didn’t ride transit at all.
Year over year
Weekday riding stayed low, since I walk to work.
My transit use in Montreal got up to 80% of my pre-pandemic riding when I was going to the airport for work often. Biking on my cargo bike picked up most of the summer transit trips.
