Should the government increase spending on public transportation?

Yes, as long as transit is made to be more affordable.

yes but for some transportation since most are already free, but the ones that aren't and are cost-effective should be lowered.

No, but I think the government should give tax breaks and incentives to private companies investing in public transportation

#1 Engaged Public Transportation

Yes, but the government should also do some retrospectives and preventative measures on reducing the cost per kilometre of track or new service

It depends, I think densification of cities and towns would make increased public transit more feasible in Canada. Until then public transport is not a great means of transportation.

Yes, by adding more routes and hours of service. We don't live in a 9-5 society anymore and our public transportation should reflect that

Should spend more on public transportation for people with disabilities, like services such as Handy-dart and training of taxi drivers to take passengers with mobility devices

yes, provide more buses to new areas where public transportation is unavailable. Provide more buses that go to colleges or universities.

I would like for there to be an increase in government but I do not think it is an urgent priority to focus on in terms of funding.

No, in my opinion the cost of public transportation should be included in taxes, since paying it independently is not profitable for all people.

Yes, more free and efficient public transportation must be provided to reduce carbon emissions and efficiency in day-to-day life

depends on the distance where the traveler is going, so shorter distances cost more because you could just walk or ride a bike to your destination

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

Yes, with an effort to create affordable passenger trains that run across Canada, similar to InterRail in Europe.

Yes, but only if the province or city has a disparity in terms of the safeness and reliability of the public transport

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.

Yes, and drastically expand environmentally friendly transportation to remote areas in canada, at an affordable rate

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.

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.

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.

Yes, but with hightened accountability and in conjunction with other infrastructure programs for achieving a long-term state, and that has to be defined.

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

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,

No, where this is an environmentally friendly solution, the constructions or railway, bus stops, and street cars are crowding areas of Canada.

Yes, and audit to ensure money is spent according to approved capital expansion programs and or documented operational needs

The government if they had extra money after upgrading infrastructure they should put it into public transport

We should take funds from some of the public transportation and put it towards à environmentally friendly one instead

We should target public transit for communities that need it most such as expanding into rural areas

public transportation only works if there is adequate parking for the people who need to get there and use it...

I think if they could spend money on making it more environmentally friendly they should but i also think there are more important issues that we could use that money towards.

Public transportation should be built in the form of subways. All of this investment in above ground transit, is wasteful and causes more traffic, congestion and pollution.

yes but only if it is making the current system better. For example i would not spend more money on the LRT until they get the current problems fixed.

Yes, but only towards environmentally friendly solutions and prioritise transportation needs for the physically disabled to encourage physically able people to get their exercise and to save it for those who need it.

Public transport spending should be increased and cost as well as incentives for use of of public transport should be the responsibility of the municipality for within cities, provincial for within provinces/territories and federal between provinces/territories.

absolutely, the candian government should be spending much more on public transportation, especially on the LRT in ottawa, its not doing well right now.

Yes but make sure the money is used effectivly

Yes, provided the costs are put towards improvement and do not fall to the consumer

Yes, but only if the spending goes to be more efficient and effective transportation, improving the different transport systems in cities that need it the most.

Yes, and provide more free public transportation, as well as if the spending goes towards environmentally friendly solutions

Regardless there should not only be more free public transportation but also there should be more focus on other important issues.

Environmentally friendly and affordable public transport, but focus on other things if needed.

Yes, and provide more free public transportation, as well as make the spending going towards environmentally friendly solutions.

Yes, should increase spending on developing public transportation's technology

No, I am satisfied with the current amount of spending and recommend more free public transportation

No, unless the government builds bullet trains from Windsor to Quebec City.

Yes, and use it to make public transportation safer to use.

they should fund better security for the transit

No, but there are some ways they could improve public transportation.

Only to increase the performance of it

Yes, everything except the light rail.

sure, to a point

Yes, increase spending on trains specifically

yes and less stinky busses also translink add compass card to apple pay pls

Municipal governments should provide public transportation

Yes, however I think the focus should be on things like public bikes and scooters, rather than buses and trains for a healthier Canada.

Better spending based on usage. Why are we building a route to Langley before ubc!? Transit should be run more like a business and help those who use it most

Yes, but this is a municipal issue, and we should have better public transportation and city planning, as well as finding environmentally friendly solutions

No, sooner or later the price will rise again thus making it MORE difficult to pay for PUBLIC transportation.

They should not allow cities to build so many high rises when the infrastructure can’t support it (aka, Toronto)

I think they should, but the government should also start incentivizing private companies to help the transition to green energy powered vehicles instead of paying for it all by themselves

I am in between certain places have better transport than others so possibly focusing funding on long distance or less accessible locations have the funding more focused on it. And if requires funding should be added.

Yes however the public transportation provided should be free and should take environmentally friendly solutions into account.

Yes, and provide more free public transportation which also has spending going towards more environmentally friendly solutions.

yes. public transportation should be free. people want cars, they should pay tolls to use all roads. Having a car is a luxury.

It really depends because yes we can have more public transit like rentable e bikes and scooters but we already have buses and bikes so why waste the money when it could go to housing

Yes. Provide more free public transportation and spend money towards environmentally friendly solutions.

spending should be higher as distance decreases until you want to go outside the city in order to encourage private transportation

It should have some funding to provide transit for people without a car and to keep the transit working and tidy but it should be moderate spending just to keep them working Properly.

Yes, and implement taxes/tolls on those who wish to drive for their convenience instead of using public transit in high traffic areas.

Yes, and provide free public transport for youth and seniors, and spending should go to environment-friendly solutions

Lower the cost of public transportation services. As most single parents can't provide enough money for their children over 13

make it free for under 18 😡😡

Yes and start changing urban planning to be less reliant on cars and more on trains. This would make living expenses cheaper and strengthen local infrastructure.

I think its a more provincial thing and not so much federal

Yes, but only when necessary. avoid spending for the sake of spending.

yes, and provide free transportation(i.e; bus, train ect) for kids under 13 years of age

Traveling by train carriage across the country should be affordable.

Yes, and spend more money on police and security for public transit stations.

Yes, but only if it will improve the services

Yes, but only if this meant less expensive bus fair and more affordable bus passes for youth and adults.

Yes, and we should further invest in other forms of public transportation as well.

bebebebebebebebebe

No need to increase government spending but make transportation cheaper or free.

I think they should add a bit more but not a lot

they should make it free and on the goverment pockets

Yes, and work towards making the country accessible to all citizens

Yes if it's to reduce cars on the road

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.

Yes, If the spending goes to both Free/fordable public transportation, as well as making them more environmentally friendly.

Government should balance the way he spends his received money on

yes and improve bike lanes pedestrian walk ways and especially safety from cars

yes, the government should add more public subways

Yes, in collaboration with municipalities and provinces.

Yes, but use the money thats going to foreign countries instead of adding more money or taking away from other funded things.

Yes, the government should invest more in public transportation even if the solution is not environmentally friendly. More access to transportation reduce traffic and pollution.

Yes, but only if it's reliable
