Who To Blame For Senior Fare Hike: CULLEN

Former MPP and long-time Bay councillor Alex Cullen tells us where the controversial senior take hike originated.

Cullen names names.

The proposed five-per-cent transit-fare increases (and the 120-per-cent seniors pass increase) came from the Long Range Transit Working Group according to the mayor in a CBC interview.

Members of this group are transit commission chairman Glen Gower, councillors Tim Tierney and Jeff Leiper, plus Mayor Mark Sutcliffe.

If you want to know why the train doesn’t run well, the bus system is a shambles, Lansdowne got approved, why the new central library is woefully over budget and you can’t get a pothole fixed well, these are examples of the people behind these kinds of decisions.

This hike is terribly uninformed unless … unless … unless this is a defection to take residents’ eyes off an even more egregious budget hike.
