Hopefully the numbers for the 2011 census will be out soon (does anyone know when?). So here are the numbers for the 2006 census for transit commute mode share by city and metro area for selected cities. When the 2011 numbers are released, I will post them in this thread. I expect the shares will be up almost across the board, as there has been tremendous ridership growth in the past five years (much higher than population growth).
