We get health care instead of transit. That is in no means an opinion of what is better, just simply a statement as to how underfunded our transit systems are

We get health care instead of transit.
That is in no means an opinion of what is better, just simply a statement as to how underfunded our transit systems are and how much we spend on health care overall, from a federal and provincial point of view.
- mitjak 16y agoNot sure what you mean. A simple look at Vancouver reveals a modern, plastic accepting, completely automated and growing network of under and above-ground trains. Oh, and that isn't owned by the government. Could that be the issue?
- run4yourlives 16y agoPoint is that there are 3 extensions to that system I can name right now that should be put in place though prior to it being considered adequate to the region, never mind going beyond. 1. Extension to UBC 2. Evergreen Extension 3. Surrey Extension If you look a Toronto, they're desperate for a complete conversion - New York style - to a subway/mass transit only system. There is so much they should be doing, but aren't. I don't need the transit to be owned by government, but both Federal and Provincial levels should be regular contributors, like they are in every other nation.
