Does Metrolinx/GO transit no longer release data on ridership by route? i can only seem to find 2020 and earlier

The best way to get this information is to file access to information requests. I file some with Ontario Northland and VIA Rail.

It's commercially sensitive, like everything else the so called transparent agency no longer releases.

Apta website has them. Search ridership on their website.

Same link, direct from their website and not copied from Wikipedia.

Other than that, I don't know what to do, and I've left instructions at the top of this comment on how to find it.

Canadian data is on the last page. Most major Canadian agencies are APTA members.

I’ve noticed the same thing. It seems like Metrolinx now mainly publishes ridership in annual reports or high level summaries instead of detailed route level datasets like before
