Should the government increase spending on public transportation?
Make it free for under 16
@8CSGLXN4yrs4Y
Yes, as long as transit is made to be more affordable.
@9KW57GR2wks2W
This situation need a deeper analysis, For example now even though the government bought one fare system transit student passes are not considered for this which is bad for students relying public transport on everyday basis. Uniform plans should be implemented
@9KNX3BB3wks3W
Yes, with an effort to create affordable passenger trains that run across Canada, similar to InterRail in Europe.
@9KMF9GP3wks3W
Yes, but only if the province or city has a disparity in terms of the safeness and reliability of the public transport
@9KM32WH3wks3W
Yes, and they should have more police officers and systems out in place to help people reach safety quickly enough rather than getting stabbed for no reason.
@9KHWY2CNew Democratic 3wks3W
Yes, and drastically expand environmentally friendly transportation to remote areas in canada, at an affordable rate
@9K8HRYH1mo1MO
yes and provide BOTH free, public and environmentally friendly solutions - this should not come from tax payer dollars
Some public buses are missing in Canada they never come to yhe bus stop as shown in the google map so i think you should spend money on buses more.
@9JV5LCX 2mos2MO
Keep the same funding, just be more efficient or hire people who will work better to build better roads.
They already spend enough money on public transportation and most of the income comes from the government itself in my opinion it should stay as it is.
@9JRD5WLConservative2mos2MO
Depending on what they use the money for. If they start using it for environmentally friendly transportation then no. But if it is used to create more highways, busses running on gas and to keep it all clean then yes.
@9J3WNSP2mos2MO
Yes, but with hightened accountability and in conjunction with other infrastructure programs for achieving a long-term state, and that has to be defined.
@9J3DSLY3mos3MO
Certain cities with lots of sprawl need to be designed differently before public transport can become a viable option and therefore so it can be worth the extra funding
@9HXJPJSChristian Heritage3mos3MO
We should build train tracks to open up the Country. Rail transport should take priority over road transportation
I think the opposite. No child should be needing to pay for transportation unless we're old enough to get a G1 at the moment,
@96VPR231yr1Y
It needs to be improved. It needs an over viewed and compare our entire system to better working ones in Canada and consult their engineers on how to improve our current system.
Calgary could easily convert their trains to driverless and within a couple of years the initial investment to convert would be back in the bank because you're not paying a crew of conductors
@96TWJF31yr1Y
make it free for below 18
@96JJRBT1yr1Y
Yes, and we should further invest in other forms of public transportation as well.
@96GN9N61yr1Y
No need to increase government spending but make transportation cheaper or free.
@96GHPCH1yr1Y
I think they should add a bit more but not a lot
@963853N1yr1Y
they should make it free and on the goverment pockets
@95RNP2L2yrs2Y
Yes, and work towards making the country accessible to all citizens
Yes if it's to reduce cars on the road
@95N68GP2yrs2Y
spend more on making the area walkable and bike-able. less car centric design.
@95K5YQG2yrs2Y
Yes, it's clear that Canada's cities are going to need investments in transit, and we're going to need this infrastructure to be built as our planet is warming, and we need to reduce our overall CO2 emissions from transportation as much as possible. EVs and fuel-efficient cars can only do so much, but they don't work for everyone as cars are often a big expense for many people.
@95J396X2yrs2Y
Yes, to help the wallet of the country
@95HDYKV2yrs2Y
Public transportation should be privatized but the government should regulate and have oversight of the system
@959RYHY2yrs2Y
Yes, If the spending goes to both Free/fordable public transportation, as well as making them more environmentally friendly.
@958MNJX2yrs2Y
Government should balance the way he spends his received money on
@958GW642yrs2Y
yes and improve bike lanes pedestrian walk ways and especially safety from cars
@957Y89S2yrs2Y
yes, the government should add more public subways
Yes, in collaboration with municipalities and provinces.
@956CYVH2yrs2Y
Yes, but use the money thats going to foreign countries instead of adding more money or taking away from other funded things.
@93Q782M2yrs2Y
No, the current price is ok but all students should be allowed to use public transit for free until the age of 18.
@93KJD862yrs2Y
My government should be taking all the taxes they get from the gas and making my driving commute to work more pleasurable.
@93GM3TGLibertarian2yrs2Y
Yes, to the extent it reduces road maintenance and construction costs
@93CR3BHNew Democratic2yrs2Y
Provide cheaper public transit that’s environmentally friendly. I want two stances here.
@939BS892yrs2Y
yes because some people don't have enough money coming in to afford a car especially with how expensive gas is
@933LMPX2yrs2Y
Possibly, case by case... Rural potentially.
@92YRZFN2yrs2Y
Yes but the extra money should be going towards fast, efficient assessable and affordable for all
The spending is fine, just increase the accessibility of public transportation
@92RTRZZ2yrs2Y
Yes, provide more free, enviro-concious transportation.
@92MWQCF2yrs2Y
Yes, but only environmentally friendly solutions that do not cause a lot of noise and do not require a high fare, and being able to walk to where you need to go should be promoted instead as much as possible
@92KJ2VM2yrs2Y
Yes, but with more focus on growing cities and towns across ontario
Neither. This is not in federal jurisdiction
@928VBDF2yrs2Y
Yes, however I don't think its a first priority as I think there are better things the government can spend money on. That being said I do think our public transportation systems could use some work so maybe in the future we can focus on updating that.
@928SH732yrs2Y
Make public transportation free and more accessible to people with disabilities, at least for long distances.
