Ok....perhaps I misread/misunderstood your original comment about asking Brampton and KW to pay for the increase in service....thought you were suggesting that any capital investment required to bring that about would have to be paid for by those municipalities.....guess I should have asked that question rather than assuming...sorry
So (to make sure that I am not misunderstanding again) in total the municipalities subsidize GO's operations by $2 million a year? Spread over all of the municipalities that does not seem like much.
2011 to 2012 report:
http://www.metrolinx.com/en/docs/pdf/presentations/BoardMtgJune212012_MX201112AnnualReport-EN.pdf
Contributions due from Province of Ontario ($96M in 2012, $21M in 2011: 20% of 2012's went to Presto)
Contributions due from Municipalities ($750,000 in 2012, $2.7M in 2011: phased out this revenue stream)
Contributions due from Government of Canada ($28M in 2012, $49M in 2011)
"due from" is tricky because it's a bill due for prior years too. For the province, it's that years contribution. For the other 2, it is mostly non-payment from previous years. Only the province is making a noticeable operating budget contribution at this time. I think the feds kick in $100K or so.
Capital contributions below:
Province of Ontario ($1.4B in 2012, $904M in 2011)
Municipalities ($30M in 2012, $29M in 2011)
Government of Canada ($10M in 2012, $24M in 2011)
Metrolinx does not provide a breakdown of the capital contribution on a per municipality basis. A large portion of the provinces contribution flows through to jobs being completed for TTC, York Region, Mississauga, etc.
The province is picking up many mega projects by itself (Eglinton LRT for example). I believe municipality capital contributions are directly mostly at rolling stock.
Metrolinx operations includes office expenses which would include some overhead for staff on capital projects.
It would also (to go back to another comment you made on this) would interesting to see which services require the most subsidy. What I am saying is that we often hear that GO recovers, what, 85% of their operating cost from the farebox. (I think that is right +/-).
78% operating cost from the farebox, which includes fare integration revenue/payments (discounted 905 bus fares) in 2011/2012.
I am also interested in per route breakdowns.
