Should the government increase spending on public transportation?

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

Yes and provide free transportation for low income people. But make it clad that they cannot share there passes or sell use of card. Thumbprint access only

No, we should better allocate the current level of spending, and more importantly, audit its usage and the efficiency of the contractors.

No. It's gonna be used for money laundering by the politicians. Deport the illegals, tighter immigration, and spend on infrastructure and it should be fixed.

No, we should ensure that money is being used based on project progress. We can't just throw away money at a prolonged project taking place over 10 years

More efficient public transportation. Faster/ cheaper options would alleviate the highway traffic congestion. Better rail options could get trucks off the roads. Highways for trucks or time restrictions (especially in the GTAA area. High speed train/ tunnel etc... We (in Canada, especially the Niagara-Toronto corridor) are desperately behind when comparing to the rest of the modern world. It's embarrassing!

Yes, however, these organizations should be held to meeting and driving innovation and more advanced solutions. Public private partnerships which allow for advancement of technology which allows Canadian companies to be competitive in international markets should be the goal.

Yes but only if it truly works to decrease time commuting and eventually returns a profit for the government so people will be taxed less.

If there's room in the budget yes they should increase spending on public transit to get newer and more fuel efficient buses.

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

Yes, but only if they truly improve the infrastructure by providing more public transportation options.

yes it should be changed the pricing of public transportation to better support everyone and also make it more healthy for the enviornment

Yes, but only if it increases safety for the riders. No point in free transportation if the dangers are at the same level with no consequences.

Yes, if it leads to better, faster services and can link our country together well (i.e. high speed rail)

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

#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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

Only to increase the performance of it

Yes, everything except the light rail.

Municipal governments should provide public transportation

Yes, and lock put private entities; TTC and GO are enough evidence that the private sector needs to stay out of public transit.

They need to start/ fix everything that is wrong first then add new ways for efficient transportation and travel

Spending should be adjusted as necessary per city and the investment should have significant returns.

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. 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 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, 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

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

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

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

they should make it free and on the goverment pockets

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

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

We should keep it the same but try to get people to use it more and make it more environmentally Friendly Solutions

Only in towns that desperately need it.

No, the current price is ok but all students should be allowed to use public transit for free until the age of 18.

nuke france

yes because some people don't have enough money coming in to afford a car especially with how expensive gas is

Yes, provide more free, enviro-concious transportation.

Yes, but with more focus on growing cities and towns across ontario

Neither. This is not in federal jurisdiction

Yes, however I don't think its a first priority as I think there are better things the government can spend money on. That being said I do think our public transportation systems could use some work so maybe in the future we can focus on updating that.

No they shouldnt,but make sure to everyonr pay their rent.

The use of public transportation needs to be increased by the general public so that the use and pollution caused by private vehicles decreases. How could this be achieved in cities where this would be a viable option? Using private transportation in such circumstances is a luxury and should be taxed as such. This money could be put towards better public transportation and keep the price down. Where good public transportation is not available, increased car pooling needs to become the norm. It seems that we turn to increased government spending for everything. If luxury is demanded, than those people need to accept the costs. The number of gas guzzling trucks and SUV's on the road shocks me.

Yes, and decrease the cost of the fare or maintain a standardized fair based on the region

Yes, but place a large emphasis on low-emission, environmentally friendly solutions.

Yes, but it’s municipal jurisdiction

Bring the gas price lower, very low

Yes, I would say increase spending for public transports in areas know for having a less wealthy population, Those with a mid range population should have access to cheaper personal vehicles as well.

Yes, though only in the areas that actually need it.

No, reduce spending, and this is provincial and municipal jurisdiction. And if the spending goes towards environmentally friendly solutions

Yes, especially in the winter with the Canadian climate.

Make Via rail cheaper

Privatization

yes, but in areas where it makes sense such as big cities. proper studies should be conducted to make sure it makes sense to invest in public transit

Yes, and more reach into rural geographies

Yes in the less accessible areas

Cut pay for employees

Maybe free for seniors?

Yes, but includes continued improvements to highways and roadways for vehicular traffic

Yes for large metropolitan areas. Smaller cities could use smaller buses where numbers indicate. This would save money for larger projects.

Yes increase the spending on public trasportation so there is less trafic so there is less crashes.

Yes but only for major cities

No, Public transportation should be payed for by taxes

No, I think we should be investing into new options. A lot of people don't want to take public transportation since Covid-19 has started and would like a better travel solution.

Yes, and provide more free public transportation, and use more environmentally friendly solutions

No, we should look at options to make current public transportation more affordable. Many public transit workers are compensated far too generously. It's not balanced to pay an uneducated worker more than an educated worker - our wage system is far too unbalanced.
