So what? You don't pay for operations or maintenance when you use services outside of Calgary either. Fact is 2/3 of the cost of the C Train is paid from taxes paid by citizens living outside of Calgary.
And when you go outside of Calgary, a portion of your taxes goes to the infrastruce there as well. I have no idea if it is 2/3 though. Hey, maybe I am paying an unfair portion compared to you. I do know however that the C Train is a 1/3, 1/3, 1/3 financing among the municipality, the province and the feds.
It is petty and simply nickel and diming to get into anything else.
