I bet all those gildings are fake . <| sep |> I pay all my own expenses , save for housing . So a little presumptuous there . But it ' s not that I can ' t , it ' s that I ' m now being asked to pay to use a service that I NEED to get into the city for my job because the alternatives are unfeasible or inefficient . It delays my savings and thus , delays the time it will take for me to save up enough to buy a home in city to become a city tax payer , where I would pay more taxes to the city , gladly . As has been pointed out , it ' s not like every dollar of this will be going to infrastructure directly . There ' s the installation , maintenance , and admin costs that chew up a nontrivial percentage of the revenue . Long term yes , it ' s profitable , but it becomes another maintenance item for the city to defer restoration costs as they already do on the Gardiner and DVP to save costs and make budgets . Which will exasperate the issue .
