?? The entire war has been like maybe 90 days <| sep |> My guess is that like other things in our sparsely populated province the densely populated areas end up subsidizing the other areas . So a private transit company could look at cutting the less profitable routes , leaving people in those areas of town without bus service . Or , in case they were mandated to run all routes , then they could cut the service in those areas to once every two hours , which really doesn ' t work for anyone who needs to use it . I don ' t use public transit , but I look at it like a socially beneficial program that a small part of my tax dollars go towards sustaining , and I ' m OK with that . I want the people who need to use the bus to have the option to do so , and I hope it ' s affordable for them . All that being said , I think the transit union has its head up its ass and needs to accept that the defined benefit pension plans needs to go . It should have been gone a long time ago .
