Calgary has the highest ridership light rail in North America. 300,000 weekday passengers for a city of just over 1 million isn't low. Annual ridership is just under Gothenberg. Lower per capita, but Calgary is much less dense. Vancouver's network has more mileage than Montreal, but Montreal's metro covers more consistently urban areas so it may feel more useful (and gets much higher ridership).

If you include T.O's streetcar system than no its Toronto in Canada anyway... Streetcars are vehicles that are on rail and they are light so not sure why they are not included. Combine that with T.O's subway system and transit numbers are the highest in Canada. Regional Heavy Rail transit like GO is also far and away number one in Canada. Montreal is slightly higher than Toronto for Subway ridership only.

Are you talking about population density? Calgary is denser than Gothenburg.
Gothenburg's tram system handles more passengers annually than Toronto^^^

Yes. That can't be true, if you're going by city limit density, then that can be misleading if the city limits of Gothenburg contains lots of undeveloped land. A neighborhood level density map of both city would be very interesting. I'd really like to make comparisons.

Calgary city limits are enormous, much different than a lot of other cities,
good example is Boston, in your neck of the woods.
Most Calgary "suburbs" are within city limits.

There's not that much undeveloped land. 3.2% of the city limits is water
City land area is 433 square km while the urban area (built up) area is 204 square km. Urban area still contains parks, and other non-residential land. The residential density is higher in Gothenburg, especially in the central parts.

But for a city with a population of just under 600,000, 104,000,000 passengers annually is very big. Calgary is a much bigger city as well.
I'm not a fan of the colour used on the Helsinki Metro Black, Blue or Green would of been better
