Should the government increase spending on public transportation?

NO. This would absolutely increase the homeless population, not just in alberta, but the whole country itself, people use public transportation everyday.

No, public transportation in Canada is only for criminals and vagrants now. It's a health risk taking it.

Yes, there should be a larger focus on making it free, accessible, and environmentally friendly so more people use it

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.

I think they should make public transportation affordable because not everyone can afford it all the time and they should take the money they get from citizens and put it towards any issues the transportation may have or a charity that way it is going to a good cause.

no but put an investment of winter tires on winter citys with transportation as well as not make the city vehicles electric as the emissions dont outlay the benefits

Taxes should be used more effective to increase public transportation. Example: reduce pricy public “art” and use funding for transit.

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

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 provide BOTH free, public and environmentally friendly solutions - this should not come from tax payer dollars

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.

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

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 use it to make public transportation safer to use.

they should fund better security for the transit

sure, to a point

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

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.

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

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

yes, the government should add more public subways

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

Possibly, case by case... Rural potentially.

Make public transportation free and more accessible to people with disabilities, at least for long distances.

Only if the funding is required to keep with population growth

no they should spend all their money on a new way of printing money so we can have one dollar bills in Canada to throw at strippers rather than coins

We need to maintain current infrastructure and set a program for ongoing maintenance before building new!

It’s good now

I don't use public transportation so I don't have an opinion on the matter

this is municipal issue

Provide subsidies for mentally and physically disabled Canadian citizens.

Yes but depending on the city, some require major additional support, some not as much. But a well functioning and efficient public transportation system can significantly reduce the reliance on fossil fuel car usage in cities.

They should but as the population is increasing, otherwise yes but they shouldn't spend that much.

Finish the green line

Pay for how much damage you riding this method of transportation does to the earth

nbo unless they have to to save the earth

Yes and provide safer bicycle lanes similar to the Netherlands.

Yes, but only to allow for expansion of infrastructure, not to provide free access

All such transportation should be unregulated and privatized.

Yes and make public transportation cheaper for the public.

Yes, but it should be used to make public transport safer for passengers

Yes, however in ways where the money is not spent irrationally on Consultants and Politicians

Yes and do it through taxing car sales.

No, funding should be per capita, where no public transportation is available, these funds could be redirected to crumbling infrastructure.

Municipalities should worry about this on their own with provincial assistance if needed

yes, but only if the current spending is efficient and is not enough for the future population

No, transport should be in a competitive, free market

No, growing up I had to pay 5 bucks minimum to get a ride from friends or their older siblings. Still cheaper than cabs but I think we could reduce the spending limit.

No, If current spending was used effectively we would see improvements

Yes, we need to make transportation in our remote areas more accessible and dependable.

Re-invest in rail transport using electrified trains especially for linking smaller cities to large hub airports. Airport security and low-price airlines has made flying uncomfortable and environmentally sustainable. New rail technologies are just as fast between land-based cities.

Yes, as cities like Calgary continue to grow, transit needs to grow with it. The LRT system should be upgraded into a Metro like Toronto and Montréal.

No, but current spending should go towards more environmentally friendly solutions

Current spending is enough, it should be allocated differently.

yes, but make it privately owned, but tickets subsidized by gove.

depending on demands of the consumers

Yes, But with a transionary balance that ensures not only the satisfaction of the need for public transportation, but that also assures stability between transportation, enviromental, and economic effects. Assuring that the solutions to these, and the economic measures in order to ensure the transition, are purely beneficial; and not just the transition or transformation of a problematic situation to another in a different or same aspect of society

Yes, depending on population size and citizen needs

only if you cant drive

Yes, for rural areas in the west where greyhound left

No, we should use the current amount of funding more effectively.

Yes, free public transport and environmentally friendly

Yes, only if it contributes a lot to pollution.

I don’t use public transportation and have no opinion

Yes, but they should allocate it to better serve the public

No they should partner with the private sector to reduce the cost with the same end result.

it doesnt matter it is good but they could fund it more.

Make a functional public transit system but keep the fees because my city does not have a system that is very usable

The government should put more money into modernizing current systems but not rip off the citizens by increasing fares to retrieve their spending.

Yes, but only if those funds go to making more buses available and creating more effective bus routes. We don't want any buses that come every 30 minutes.

Yes, but only if the funding goes towards having more accessible bus routes and more often and consistent pick up times. Not any once every 30 minute garbage.

Yes, there should be public transportation in cities at least every half hour, and public transportation between towns several times each day.

No, but the bus drivers should be screened better. Background checks are very important. If they go electric they would save money on fuel costs.

drones should be used for explict websites only to get better angles in the video

In calgary, it is good

Funding should remain the same, but better managed.

yes, but to transfer to electric transportation

Yes, but make passes more affordable and the transportation should be increased in locations that need more transit

burn public transport

Yes but only in areas of high population

Transportation should be more safe and more cost effective

Don’t have an opinion on this matter

Not unless it's for protection from criminals on said public transportation. No one I know use it because it's so unsafe!

Yes, to improve safety.

No, we have a good system right now. Taking inspiration from asian cultures is where we should look towards

Safety is key

yes but when we gain more money for that type of spending.

spend more on making the area walkable and bike-able. less car centric design.

Later on in our future as of now our public transportation is one our least concerns when it comes to funding

No this should be left to local governments.

yes for more rural/ out of town areas

Hell no, this is another stupid question
