Régis says the 2025 numbers were estimated at the end of November, and do not account for an overtime strike in December.

The agency estimates weekday ridership was down by nine per cent, while weekend ridership decreased by 12 per cent.

Apart from the impact of strikes that disrupted services in the summer and fall, Régis says shifting immigration policies are also a factor in the decline, since there were fewer international students taking trips on public transit in 2025.

The agency suggests the impacts of the strikes could ease in 2026.
