Perera states “There are 47 cities, towns and townships in Ontario with public transit systems.” (p. 12) but provides a list of 49 municipalities receiving transit operating subsidies from the provincial government. Accounting for Kitchener and Waterloo as two places sharing one system, that still leaves one extra on his list. An appendix also contains a name-and-address list of contacts.
