Interesting numbers - especially the transit growth in BC (20% vs. 11% for cars).
I suspect there are a lot of things underlying those numbers, like whether service frequency/reliability itself is comparable to 2016...a lot of chicken/egg stuff with transit, as well as feedback cycles (less riders makes it feel less safe which means less riders etc etc).
Another thing I could see is partial returns to office changing the commuter trip evaluation. When going every day a monthly transit pass might be an economic (and traffic aggravation) no-brainer. At say twice a week you are then comparing the individual trips, and the extra premium to drive might win out.
