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.
