Except that the government is more than happy to spend billions on bridges, in a time when vehicle miles driven is declining rapidly, it's only mass transit that gets put to a vote. After blowing a billion dollars on a north Fraser crossing ( which is nearly empty all the time ) the government proceeded to blow $4 billion on the main highway crossing ( Port Mann ) to bring it to 8 lanes, it's totally empty all the time. And now they're going to blow another $3-6 billion replacing the south Fraser crossing (Massey Tunnel -> bridge)
