I’m sorry. I have no car and must use public transit, in Montréal, and the REM is a PPP that will end up costing a lot more to the public than if the public just paid directly for it.

There’s an economist that just published a new article about this, in French, named ‘the bad financing deal of the REM’.

He estimates that we could have saved as much as nearly 10 billion if the government financed the thing itself.

But no, the public has to pay royalties, doesn’t own the infra, and can’t compete with it.

It’s a bad deal.

I was watching a YT series about the colossal light rail fuck up in Toronto. I’m not even from the American continent, its just that bad it’s YT entertainment for the world now.

Good to see Montreal has some IQ points in its municipality.

Ottawa suburban voters are actively typing out reasons why we can’t do the same as we speak
