This refers to the conversation with Bill Bumface about the costs of owning and operating the car. Those costs fall directly upon the car user. The fares paid by transit user in Calgary pays less than half the costs to operate the buses and trains and virtually none of their capital costs, which is borne by various levels of governments.
