Trudeau should've applied the same courtesy to the railway workers.

I might have to move to Manitoba considering all this. People forgot about all the 16 years of John Rustad corruption.

Yeah it would reduce situations like these that could potentially slow down the service. The bus drivers want everyone to get to work on time.

I’d clarify that things like public transit being self-funding is neoliberal bullshit and it should at most cost a token fee. But I think there is a level of safety you gain from having a token cost to ride transit - if something costs anything people are more likely to follow rules and enforcement gets a lot easier… when something has no cost people start acting weirdly entitled to the service.

That is a classist way of thinking as the people who need it most are those are living on the streets. We should not abandon these folks because some people like you dont like their kind. We dont need more unnecessary barriers that will keep transit out of reach for those who need it the most like indigenous people, transgender people, immigrants, women, neuro divergent people. As they're less likely to have housing well paying jobs or just time we dont need a barrier that will keep transit out of reach for them. The Public Transit should operate like the library.

people start acting weirdly entitled to the service.

Everyone has the right to freedom and healthcare, I wouldn't call them entitled when we have rich people in this province behind the Pattison Food Group price gauging everyone when so many people are having trouble paying their bills.

Ha its funny you act like this is a problem because car drivers often act like they're entitled to all the road and do not want to share with cyclists or pedestrians.

Transit funding needs to hit $1 billion by taxing the rich such as RBC and Loblaws.
