"In May 2023, 20.1% of Canadians usually worked most of the time from home, down from 24.3% in May 2021 and almost three times the rate of 7.1% observed in May 2016. While this increase in work from home likely reduced commuting and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions caused by transportation (Morissette, Deng and Messacar, 2021), it also put downward pressure on the revenues and ridership of urban public transit systems, many of which experienced deficits in recent years (Griffin, 2023). Partly as a result of telework growth, the number of passenger-trips in urban transit systems in September 2023 was 18% lower than in the same month in 2019"--Provided by publisher, page 1.
