Readers of Peace Arch News, Surrey Leader and Surrey Now may have spotted the comment by our founder, Daryl Dela Cruz, saying that the Canada Line has attracted more riders than the entire Portland MAX light rail transit system. These are the numbers:
| System | Opening Year(s) | Average weekday boardings (2011) |
| SkyTrain – Canada Line only | 2009 | 136,259[1] |
| Portland MAX LRT | 1986, 1998, 2001, 2004, 2009 | 126,700[2] |
