Should the government increase spending on public transportation?

Yes we need to focus more on canada wide public transportation like trains. And less on highways. Tmwe need to be more proactive instead of always trying to catch up with the current needs. Canada is so far behind when it come to effective public transportation

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

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

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

Yes, increase spending on trains specifically

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

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 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.

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, in collaboration with municipalities and provinces.

Yes, but only if it goes towards environmentally friendly solutions. But we should also spend more money on better things

Maybe where its needed

yes, only if they increase free transportation and provide transportation that's safer for the enviroment.

Only if it reduces congestion like subways and skytrains

when/if health/ecomonic conditions dictate

I'm sure BC is different, but TransLink is Terrible. We need to completely rework our transport. There is so much money going in, but only paying for the people at the top. The tax money spent on it is more than wasted. The amount put in, we should have extended from Vancouver to mission years ago, it's just starting now.

This is a complicated issue and should be considered for different questioning/ wording in the future.

Yes, more free public transportation, including the addition of more environmentally friendly options such as bike lanes.

Not applicable to me

I think the government should increase spending at high density populations but decrease spending on low density populations.

Should be provincial decision.

Yes, but make transit accountable for what they get

Yes. Canada lags most developed nations in the accessibility to public transportation, plus it will help reduce GHGs.

Yes but not at the expense of reduction in infrastructure. We need more highways for vehicles. Transport goods to keep costs down.

Bc transit is a joke. But public transport should be made accessible to every one and chea, but should also receive less funds

public transport should be free

I support increased public transportation, but this is mostly contingent on the city layout facilitating public transportation. Designing roads for cars, and generally making cities hard to traverse as a pedestrian, and then spending money on public transportation ill-suited for the existing infrastructure, sounds like dumping money down the toilet to me.

I think that we need a bullet train that uses electro magnets running like a tree east to west across Canada. It could be used by canada post, shipping companies, and for passenger rides. Its would fix a large part of the labour shortages

No, and provide more free transportation but only if the spending goes towards environmentally friendly solutions and we should reduce current spending that is unnecessary we should not privatize and is no longer relevant and out of question

No, this is a local matter.

No genuine opinion

Yes, but consider ways to reduce wasteful spending in public systems as part of this strategy. Yes more public transportation but less redundant admin. Should work in tandem

Any and all busing that pertains to elementary, middle & secondary should be free as it use to be for many years

Should be provincial jurisiction.

Should be provincial jurisdiction.

Yes, but direct spending towards environmentally friendly solutions and provide more free public transportation

No but spend the money they do have more efficiently

Only in areas that actually use and need it

Yes, if the funding goes to environmental friendly solutions and more free public transportation

yes, but it should be free and should be environmentally friendly

i really like how public transportation is right now and i think they are doing a very good job

No. However, it depends upon locations.

no we have to social distance

There should be a cleaner way if they are spending more money

If there wasn't covid-19 then maybe they could, but though since we are in the covid-19 pandemic, we shouldn't right now.

Make it a situation so that people do not need to depend on public transportation as much

some people depend on public transport and can hardly afford it as is

Hyperloop and mag lev trains could seriously benefit the country.

No, it should be up to the provincial government

yes, public transportation should be free

No, because it's already fine, and I never use public transportation.

Reduce costs, increase rider ship. Why do they need to spend more!? What is the long-term plan!?

Yes, if it is put towards making public transport more efficient and safe for the driver, bus cleaning crew, and public

Stop wasting money

Yes and widen the highway and also get the sky train to Chilliwack!

Yes, again cut government employee wages and get rid of useless bike lanes. As that is a complete waste of Canadian citizen money and put it into better public transit

Make public transportation more accessible in rural areas.

we are already billions of dollars in debt so unless it is important based on the city then no

Yes, they should be investing in self-driving electric cars.

As I don't use public transport, it would be unfair for me to judge whether it is needed or not

Yes, it should be free or at least subsidized for everybody and environmentally friendly

Yes on more environmentally friendly ferry services. More frequent trips and/or additional ferries need to be seriously looked at especially to the Sunshine Coast.

Yes, but not by large amounts until our national debt has been somewhat reduced

Yes, and they should give cars to everyone who can not afford it

No, and current spending should be diverted to energy and environmentally friendly solutions.

We must address the aging ferry issues. They provide the necessary link between mainland and islands in emergency situations. Passenger ferry to Vancouver Island a must

No, government need to survey citizens to determine if public transportation meets the public's needs and what may need changing.

Yes, but make sure that the city also has the funds to meet it's end of the deal, so that the federal government doesn't have to step in as often, although good transit is in the national interest.

Yes, to help the wallet of the country

My government should be taking all the taxes they get from the gas and making my driving commute to work more pleasurable.

Yes in the less dense areas

Yes, but should be provincial responsibility

Yes, invest in greener technology and provide more free public transportation

No. However, it depends upon locations. For heavily populated area, public transportation should be funded. But it doesn't make logic sense for rural area to have expensive public transportation simply because the population won't support such spending.

Bus go brooom

Yes, and we should add more commuting systems that aren't highway reliant

Yes, and provide more free public transportation AND make more environmentally friendly

Yes, if more environmentally friendly and yes, if low income or youth don't have to pay

Yes but for only those with low incomes

Yes, but only by a little bit. I think that the current cost for children (under 16 years of age, when the majority don't have jobs but need to get home from school anyway.) should be lowered by $0.50-$1.00. I also noticed inefficiency in my city's bus system, meaning that the bus just doesn't show up half the time.

As long as it doesn't effect people who don't use it. i.e Vancouver area increasing their bc line people in the northeast region should not have to pay taxes for this.

More skytrains in the BC Lower Mainland connecting to Maple Ridge

Yes, but only if done without an overall budgetary increase

only in certain areas.

i think our busses are pretty good as they are maybe a few more and always nice drivers!

If they can do a back flip

Spooder man

Yes. It's abundantly clear that Canada is going to need more good-quality public transit in the coming years, as our cities will grow but we also need to combat the additional challenges of climate change and rising GHG emissions within cities, which are a problem as most Canadians do live within or just outside of a major city.
