Given the he probably drives to do his mountaineering and his bike parts get shipped to MEC Calgary on some sort of large road infrastructure, the students that pay his salary likely don't all live a bike ride away and take busses and cars from far away lands... It's much too complicated an issue to just say "I'll give you $8 for $400" and he should know better. How the frack did he think the bridge parts got to Calgary.
I like this guys way of thinking. I rarely go downtown (maybe once or twice every few months) so I'm not paying anything for the downtown infrastructure except for my fair share of usage. I drive Glenmore every day, so that's all I'm willing to pay for.

I'm no economist, and I can't find population density charts or downtown worker numbers online, but I'm pretty sure his usage fees just went up for the roads he enjoys. (Again, I'm making an assumption)
