64 million, but there is only about 33 million people in Canada? How does this make any sense?@gotransitofficial

I agree - it's a confusing statement. Are you saying 64 million people have ridden GO since 1967 or that GO transports 64 million people in a year? If you could help me understand, that would be great. It can't be an annual figure. Your system doesn't support that

It can't be cumulative either. GO has been in operation for 47 years, if it were cumulative, ridership is dropping.
ReplyDeletePerhaps it is 65 million rides per year (as in, I am 10 people per week).
So a multiplication of the annual ridership times the amount of trips is the annual ridership?
ReplyDeleteAs with government math, GO math is usually the sum of whatever the bigwigs want it to be. Logic and truthiness be damned.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure that for those who take a GO bus, then a train to work, and then reverse that to get home are counted as 4 "people".
ReplyDeleteIt should be 64 million *trips* per year. Bad choice of words there :-)
ReplyDelete@Matt: If you do GO bus+GO train and back, that's two trips, not four.
ReplyDeleteI think it was in-eloquently put, but they likely mean 65 million passenger trips per year which is feasible.
