The Liberals were even offering ‘a buck a ride’ on transit, which would have cost a fortune. For example, I live in Whitby, about a 50-minute train ride outside Toronto. Getting downtown and back costs more than $20 a day. Multiply that by tens of thousands and you’re looking at a very big bill.
It's not that crazy. More and more cities are considering free transit. Like Kansas City. New York City has done a study that free buses (not subway) alone would cost 1 billion a year.
