This is ludicrous, they barely service where they do run, yet they want money not only from the rest of the province where they dont service, but federally? Unacceptable. 😆

Yes, cut off our resources and print money instead to make up for the missing resources. This government is very smart.

I think we're in the same boat in SK, Moe won't take the money that's been earmarked by the federal government for transit and it's purely out of spite. We definitely need better and newer transit in Saskatoon.

They could raise the fares... Transit is not a Right and should not be subsidized.

Hated by many, wanted by plenty, disliked by some, confronted by none.

It’s where all the carbon tax revenue should have gone, to helping municipalities pay for building competent transit infrastructure. Instead of that it’ll be cast away into the wind, never to be seen or heard from again 💨
