Canadian Urban Transit Association reports record public transit usage numbers.
"Canadians took buses, subways, streetcars and trains in record numbers in 2003, the Canadian Urban Transit Association said yesterday.
The association has been using the national figures to pressure Prime Minister Paul Martin and his Liberal government to live up to their promise of delivering a share of the gas tax to cities to help transit."
