Through StatsCan information, projections from the City of London and other helpful articles and websites I was able to put together some information that gives us an idea of how London, Ontario could change by 2035.
Information above is based off City of London's "The London Plan" https://london.ca/sites/default/files/2020-11/The-London-Plan-Policies-Effect-Nov18-2019_0.pdf

In 2011, London's ridership was 22.8 million. It is anticipated that by 2024 we will see an increase of almost 50% bringing the ridership to approximately 33 million. The City of London also estimates that 115,000 people will live within a 10 minute walk to the Rapid Transit Lines that London has proposed to develop. Additionally, 84,000 people will work within 10 minutes of these Rapid Transit Lines.

London is the second fastest growing metropolitan area in Canada and it was noted in an article by CTV News that London's population growth was 2.3% for 2018/2019. Currently, London is the 11th largest city in Canada.
