Transit Use 2025
01 January 2026The transit tracking tradition continues. Again this year, we biked a lot so took transit much less, and I biked the most I ever have with 65 rides in 2025. I counted “unofficial” transfers on the STM as two rides. My rides were paid for using: OPUS (74), Mexico City card (3) and one each for Presto and the Transit App.

| OC Transpo | Presto | 1 | 4.00 |
| REM | OPUS | 3 | 3.42 |

I took transit two days for work in 2025, and I biked to a client office twice. We took two trips to Mexico City and rode the metro a couple times. On my next trip, I will use it more to get further afield for walks. We went to Calgary and rode the bus once to try out buying a ticket using Transit App. In Montreal, there were several transit strikes this year that just meant we rode our bikes farther than we otherwise would have instead of taking transit.
Year over year
Weekday riding stayed low, since I walk to work. Friday rides are for Friday Adventure after daycare pick up.
My transit use in Montreal got up to 90% of my pre-pandemic riding when I was going to the airport for work often and walking the rest of the time. Biking on my cargo bike picked up most of the summer transit trips and all of September. The only ride I took in September was in Calgary.
