I'd say that this is exactly what it is. Toronto's system is almost entirely underground and they get a whopping $11 million because of it. Calgary has very little, so we get very little.

If this was developed as a direct response to the London underground train bombings, then the reported shares do seem to make sense (however much we like them or not).
