Government Opinion

Public Transportation is Known to be a Municipal Responsibility. Let's Know What They are Thinking.

The government's opinion on public transportation seems to be given less importance compared to the private transport. It also doesn't help the municipal government if the Federal and Provincial governments provide sporadic funding for public transportation which means that to improve public transit, they wouldn't get sufficient funding. This is huge as there will be an increase in interest for personal vehicle transportation. This would engage people in buying more and more cars which will lead to an increase in traffic and pollution and as well the government needs to upgrade the infrastructure to counter these. This will eventually turn into a cycle that will never end and will cost billions.
