Make it free for under 16
@8CSGLXN4yrs4Y
Yes, as long as transit is made to be more affordable.
@9VW5KW2Conservative1mo1MO
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.
@9VG7P4VConservative2mos2MO
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
@9VG5CQ2New Democratic2mos2MO
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
@9VCFGXK2mos2MO
yes, provide more buses to new areas where public transportation is unavailable. Provide more buses that go to colleges or universities.
@9V5Y68N2mos2MO
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.
@9TQ5P3T2mos2MO
Yes, more free and efficient public transportation must be provided to reduce carbon emissions and efficiency in day-to-day life
@9LCJ58X8mos8MO
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
@9KW57GR8mos8MO
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
@9KNX3BB9mos9MO
Yes, with an effort to create affordable passenger trains that run across Canada, similar to InterRail in Europe.
@9KMF9GP9mos9MO
Yes, but only if the province or city has a disparity in terms of the safeness and reliability of the public transport
@9KM32WH9mos9MO
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 9mos9MO
Yes, and drastically expand environmentally friendly transportation to remote areas in canada, at an affordable rate
@9K8HRYH9mos9MO
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 9mos9MO
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.
@9JRD5WLConservative10mos10MO
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.
@9J3WNSP10mos10MO
Yes, but with hightened accountability and in conjunction with other infrastructure programs for achieving a long-term state, and that has to be defined.
@9J3DSLY10mos10MO
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 Heritage11mos11MO
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,
@9H6FWSC12mos12MO
No, where this is an environmentally friendly solution, the constructions or railway, bus stops, and street cars are crowding areas of Canada.
@9H3YKX61yr1Y
Yes, and audit to ensure money is spent according to approved capital expansion programs and or documented operational needs
@9GYC866Conservative1yr1Y
The government if they had extra money after upgrading infrastructure they should put it into public transport
@9GSRV7T1yr1Y
We should take funds from some of the public transportation and put it towards à environmentally friendly one instead
@9GNSN6G1yr1Y
We should target public transit for communities that need it most such as expanding into rural areas
@9GJB2HS1yr1Y
public transportation only works if there is adequate parking for the people who need to get there and use it...
@9GF7LP21yr1Y
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.
@9GCJ9X91yr1Y
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.
@9G9MV2T1yr1Y
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.
@9FWMZSC1yr1Y
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.
@9FVDRPT1yr1Y
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.
@9FNMVTQ1yr1Y
absolutely, the candian government should be spending much more on public transportation, especially on the LRT in ottawa, its not doing well right now.
@9FMLC2L1yr1Y
Yes but make sure the money is used effectivly
Yes, provided the costs are put towards improvement and do not fall to the consumer
@9FHCTXZ1yr1Y
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.
@9FGSKLL 1yr1Y
Yes, and provide more free public transportation, as well as if the spending goes towards environmentally friendly solutions
@9FGK5221yr1Y
Regardless there should not only be more free public transportation but also there should be more focus on other important issues.
@9FGK49K1yr1Y
Environmentally friendly and affordable public transport, but focus on other things if needed.
@Matthew-N1yr1Y
Yes, and provide more free public transportation, as well as make the spending going towards environmentally friendly solutions.
@9FFQH2V1yr1Y
Yes, should increase spending on developing public transportation's technology
@9FDTWFR1yr1Y
No, I am satisfied with the current amount of spending and recommend more free public transportation
@9FDLC9KConservative1yr1Y
No, unless the government builds bullet trains from Windsor to Quebec City.
@9FDHSDN1yr1Y
Yes, and use it to make public transportation safer to use.
@9FDBHTY1yr1Y
they should fund better security for the transit
@9FBRQ281yr1Y
No, but there are some ways they could improve public transportation.
@9F9VJ4Z1yr1Y
Only to increase the performance of it
Yes, everything except the light rail.
@9F8FTKF1yr1Y
Yes, increase spending on trains specifically
@9F85RJG1yr1Y
yes and less stinky busses also translink add compass card to apple pay pls
@9F2MK7G1yr1Y
Municipal governments should provide public transportation
@9T4MVBSIndependent3mos3MO
Yes, however I think the focus should be on things like public bikes and scooters, rather than buses and trains for a healthier Canada.
@9SBG9PT3mos3MO
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
@9RTLWCPIndependent4mos4MO
Yes, but this is a municipal issue, and we should have better public transportation and city planning, as well as finding environmentally friendly solutions
@9RMDTXG4mos4MO
No, sooner or later the price will rise again thus making it MORE difficult to pay for PUBLIC transportation.
@9QZVT444mos4MO
They should not allow cities to build so many high rises when the infrastructure can’t support it (aka, Toronto)
@9QZCYDN4mos4MO
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
@9QQH84W5mos5MO
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.
@9Q6K9XZ5mos5MO
Yes however the public transportation provided should be free and should take environmentally friendly solutions into account.
@9P8NRFMNew Democratic 5mos5MO
Yes, and provide more free public transportation which also has spending going towards more environmentally friendly solutions.
@9NNLBBR6mos6MO
yes. public transportation should be free. people want cars, they should pay tolls to use all roads. Having a car is a luxury.
@9MCJ3PYConservative6mos6MO
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
@9LHLKDC7mos7MO
Yes. Provide more free public transportation and spend money towards environmentally friendly solutions.
@9LFH2B9Conservative8mos8MO
spending should be higher as distance decreases until you want to go outside the city in order to encourage private transportation
@9G3LBVG1yr1Y
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.
@9G2PN681yr1Y
Yes, and implement taxes/tolls on those who wish to drive for their convenience instead of using public transit in high traffic areas.
@9FW2SW51yr1Y
Yes, and provide free public transport for youth and seniors, and spending should go to environment-friendly solutions
@9FVZYQZ 1yr1Y
Lower the cost of public transportation services. As most single parents can't provide enough money for their children over 13
@9DDYF7L1yr1Y
make it free for under 18 😡😡
@9D7X3DV1yr1Y
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.
@9D5WBPDConservative1yr1Y
I think its a more provincial thing and not so much federal
@8G296CF4yrs4Y
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
@9BZB6S42yrs2Y
Traveling by train carriage across the country should be affordable.
@9BS794Z2yrs2Y
Yes, and spend more money on police and security for public transit stations.
@9BNM3KK2yrs2Y
Yes, but only if it will improve the services
@9BKH2QQ2yrs2Y
Yes, but only if this meant less expensive bus fair and more affordable bus passes for youth and adults.
@96JJRBT2yrs2Y
Yes, and we should further invest in other forms of public transportation as well.
@96GN9N62yrs2Y
No need to increase government spending but make transportation cheaper or free.
@96GHPCH2yrs2Y
I think they should add a bit more but not a lot
@963853N2yrs2Y
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
@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.
@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.
@93TWCLF2yrs2Y
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.
@93TQ9LRConservative2yrs2Y
Yes, but only if it's reliable
@93SCFMN2yrs2Y
Yes, and suburban development should become public-transit based.
@93S7QH52yrs2Y
We should keep it the same but try to get people to use it more and make it more environmentally Friendly Solutions
@93R7KYP2yrs2Y
Only in towns that desperately need it.
