    I guess I just don't have your mad skills then.

    New Transit Funding Sources

    Income Taxes are already charged to employees who get parking at the airport. Parking isn't free and people shouldn't be misguided by "free" and "reduced rate" parking. Your receipts show you what you paid in taxes, you should be able to see what parking spaces really cost. It should be up front...

    I don't make it out to the meetings. I stay home with the kids and send husband. I don't think he really thinks to ask the questions I would, mostly because he doesn't travel with the kids as much as I do. I would use Dixie and Kennedy if they didn't take so long to get to, require...

    Then go DT less. They are not decent rates. They are the cheapest I've ever seen. In London, you're charged thirty-five pounds for 24 hours. The rates in Toronto are unreasonably cheap. It's a sin to complain about all the congestion in Toronto when it's so easy to park here.

    They're losing money, when they don't charge market rate. You're getting your panties in a twist over choice of words. I don't give a crap. They are giving people a break where there shouldn't be one.

    Is the inclusion of gender and racial equity in transit planning appropriate?

    Doubt it. Places where more women ride bikes don't require us to where helmets that will mess up our hair and have to lug the helmet around with us for the rest of the day. And the white men I see riding bikes around Brampton? No. No Brampton is not have bicycle friendly beyond recreational...

    The Dixie route is one I just don't bother using. Take a car or taxi or anything but transit. One bus to Shoppers world, transfer, another bus east, transfer, Dixie south, transfer, dixie south, transfer, another bus. Reach destination. Miss three or four connections along the way and you have...

    If Green P were actually market priced and not subsidized, I wouldn't have issue with them. The entire point of creating them, was to keep parking costs down though.

    Those people could still generate money if they came down by transit and put less pressure on infrastructure. I'm from the UK, we paid for parking to do our shopping whether it was at the supermarket or a shopping center. I don't see why all of these parking lots are free to start with. You're...

    When is Green P going to be dumped? All the money wasted on subsidized parking encouraging driving when we're trying to resolve congestion problems. Can anyone take Toronto seriously about mass transit with all of the Green P lots?

    The all day GO line has been a carrot waved in Brampton many times. I'll believe that when they tell us how it will be funded. At this point, I don't even care about paying the taxes for it, it's past due. "Quite a bit" doesn't mean much when it's overdue and you've been looking at transit...

    Is the inclusion of gender and racial equity in transit planning appropriate?

    Gender and race make a difference in planning. Before wheelchair accessible buses came around, stay-at-home-mothers with infants and small children were shut-in if they didn't have a car. Higher immigrant populations will be more dense and more likely to take transit. Single white males are the...

    Brampton Transit/Zum

    If they build the LRT, I'd like to see them close the same section they close for the Brampton Farmer's Market. The street parking is a bottle neck and the sidewalks are too small. Drivers seem to think they should be able to get through there at 50kmh when 10-20kmh would be more reasonable. The...

    Interesting thread. 1st point. Dundas East Mississuga - Someone was asking who would take a subway all the way along Dundas into Toronto? When I first moved to Canada, I didn't have money to take GO Transit and hope I had enough cash for it. I knew exactly how much local transit cost without...
