So the TTC has a monopoly. Enforced by coercive funding methods... ethical issues aside, how about at least allowing for competition?
I had this idea after visiting Malta:
Booooya! The fare in Malta is cheap too, which is better for people with low income. This system is sexy
Have the TTC at least compete alongside private bus drivers.
so 2 questions:
1) What do YOU think of the Maltese proposition?
2) Is this possible at all for Toronto? Or are the established political forces too strong?

WikipediaThere are approximately 500 buses in public transit service in Malta, most of them privately owned by the bus drivers themselves, and operated to a unified timetable set by the transport authority. Malta buses carry approximately 31 million passengers per year.[3] On any one day, half the bus fleet works on the public transport network (called 'route buses'), while the other half are used for private tours and school transportation.
