Bus riders in London, Canada proportionally pay SIGNIFICANTLY more for their fares than any other peer cities. We dive deep into how public transit funding is split up and how it affects everyone in the City of London.
A great question that came out of this chat was: “why do PUBLIC transit systems 'need to generate a profit' when police services, roadways, etcrahrah, aren't expected to turn a profit?”
