Incentives for carpooling and shared transportation encourage people to share rides, reducing the number of vehicles on the road and lowering emissions. Proponents argue that it reduces traffic congestion, lowers emissions, and promotes community interactions. Opponents argue that it may not significantly impact traffic, could be costly, and some people prefer the convenience of personal vehicles.

No, they should expand funding to public transportation services and incentivize using public transit
@B3HJK9R2mos2MO
Money should be allocated to developing efficient and reliable public transport first. Many Canadians living in major cities outside of Ontario, BC, and Quebec still don't have particularly efficient, convenient, or reliable public transport. Due to smaller population sizes, budgets can be limited and citizens may not be able to afford the fare increases necessary to fund development projects.

No, but improve public transportation options and function.
@9RMDWZQ9mos9MO
I’d have to have numbers. Would it really make a difference and at what cost. What’s the ROI?
@9RB43K39mos9MO
Yes, but non-monetary incentives (such as the carpool lane).
@9P8NRFMNew Democratic 11mos11MO
Yes, individual vehicles are not usually essential for everyday transportation.
@9MKYHZ712mos12MO
No as it's difficult to subsidize carpooling, but there should be incentives for using public transportation and bikes
