The study was based on prices as of March 2023, and average net wages were taken from numbeo.com. The monthly passes included in the study allow for unlimited travel with all means of transportation within the city limits. The study did not include cities where one mode of transport is offered by multiple operators with different pricing policies or cities where it is not possible to buy a monthly pass.
You forgot Ottawa, which is 3.70 per ride, $125.50 for a pass.
