To start with; while you may be a casual user, there are many people in the outlying communities who use it on a daily basis. I work with some.

The second point; yes provincial and federal money paid for a good chunk of Calgary Transit. Are you trying to imply that your community doesn't see a dime of federal/provinical infrastructure money?

I'm sure we could sit there and figure out how much each community pays per captia; and then how much it receives per capita. But at the end of the day while you may have paid for Calgary Transit, I paid for a bridge in Okotoks that I never use.
