These are different measures and periods. The budget is a plan, Q1 is a reported result, and the pandemic Census is commuting context. It is not a cost per rider or a forecast.

The net requirement was 7 159 000 CAD above the City’s calendarized Q1 budget. Transit spent 2 688 000 CAD less than budgeted, but received 9 847 000 CAD less revenue, mainly because ridership and fare revenue were below budget.

03 / Statistics Canada · Ottawa census subdivision
Commuting in context.
2021 was a pandemic census year. Work-from-home patterns and changed commuting conditions make this essential context, not a current ridership target or a prediction of 2026 behaviour.

How commuting changed between 2016 and the pandemic census
Compare the published counts and each mode’s share of the stated denominator. The 2021 census was collected during COVID-19, and the census universes differ slightly, so this is context, not proof that transit service caused the change.

04 / Questions the evidence can answer
From totals to recorded trips.
A budget total cannot tell us which route failed or what a service change would do. Use the recorded history below to find a repeated day, time, route, stop, ward, or vehicle pattern. Every result opens to its dates, denominators, exclusions, and public source IDs.
Questions the evidence can answer
Start with history, then inspect the underlying trips
A budget total cannot tell us which route failed or what a service change would do. Use the recorded history below to find a repeated day, time, route, stop, ward, or vehicle pattern. Every result opens to its dates, denominators, exclusions, and public source IDs.
No route-cost or service-impact forecast is shown because no defensible public allocation model connects these system totals to each route.
