Speaking about Toronto specifically, so much money has gone into public transportation but nothing gets built or fixed on time. It just drags on for years and years whereas other countries build things much faster. Eglinton LRT is an example of what could have been built in a few years and has now become the joke of the city. The "track work" that they've been working on, to the inconvenience of Toronto citizens, to make the subway faster has done nothing except slow things down. It takes me 5% longer to get to work than it did 2 years ago. This government money is being wasted. The contractors take 10x longer because they bill by the hour
