    There is no reason for us to expect public transit to be self-sustaining… it’s neoliberal bullshit.

    Transit is a service and it should be funded in a large part by provincial taxes.

      Politicians like treating transit like a cruise. It would be weird if a cruise ship was losing money.

      Transit should be treated like a road. It would be weird if a road MADE money.

      Why do some people always want people a thousand miles away to pay for services they dont use? This isn’t healthcare. Civic taxes not provincial.
