@paulbusch@mstdn.caGood Morning #Canada
A lot of Canadians make fun of the public transit systems in their cities. Putting aside the fact that Toronto (actually the Ontario Government) took 16 years to build a few kilometers of light rail transit, Canadian cities rank in the top 10 of systems based on ridership metrics. We, North America, lag behind Europe and some Asian cities, but in general we have a lot to be proud of.
Now if only the government gave public transit the same funding that we threw at highways, that would be amazing. Or to really attack #Affordable commuting, make public transit systems free.

@davej@dice.campFWIW, the #LNP’s serving its base—what need have #mining magnates for #AffordableHousing?
