In Ontario not really, there’s issues with parking tax due to laws. A congestion charge would work better. Also pols often propose a minimum fee that the owner of the parking keeps w/ no $ going to the city and we need the money

Congestion charge to find transit. Because no matter how high parking is, as long as OC is sabotaged by council, losing so much time to transit takes a toll and people will continue driving

Daily weekday parking has for decades been slightly higher than 2 persons travelling on transit in Ottawa as there’s lots of PS couple travelling together. That’s a unique feature of Ottawa. So parking would have to be raised a lot. But I prefer a muni tax to fund transit or

Another reminder that Ontario is more a petro-state than Alberta ever has been or will ever be. Because car manufacturers jobs means seats at Queen’s Park

They’re going forward because Air Canada is trying to keep their profits in the triangle but not in a way that makes sense for us pax. I am not convinced they will route Mtl- Toronto trains through Ottawa as that’s slow.

It shouldn’t and my comment was a criticism of the project. If anything the project knows about Porter’s project hence its absurd they would abandon downtown Mtl to Porter

I miss using transit but in the rare occasions I do, I feel irresponsible using it, as it’s expensive, unreliable and not frequent enough. It could motivate our city to make Centretown an actual destination we want to travel to

This is not only important but would help everyone care about transit even if not using it. Imagine paying the congestion charge and seeing and hearing how transit suck despite them paying those charges. We could some real change as the pols would have a hard time sabotaging transit

Merry Christmas! Joyeux Noël Chef!

Can’t cut into airlines and car manufacturers profits it seems. The maps from Alto means that Mtl is going to be inaccessible. The line will work better as an Ottawa-Quebec line. Surprised Porter hasn’t opened their terminal in St-Hubert yet. They will dominate

Oh yes we’re way past the point they can continue to self-regulate. They clearly see self-regulation as a shield not as a duty to the public

So this machine expected you to train it. That’s hilarious. The tech bros are a scourge on society

Thanks for not blocking as I do find it hilarious. And you’re right this is trolling
