Our constitutional right to cheap public transit | Full Comment

During a recent meeting of the Toronto Transit Commission to discuss cutting service on under-performing bus routes, Councillor Maria Augimeri declared: “We’re not here to run a business. We’re here to be a social service. We are a service provider. We can’t just cut routes because they don’t perform. Wheel-Trans doesn’t perform, it costs us $35 per ride. Do we cut all those routes? It’s a ridiculous proposition. People who say a political venue should offer a business-like approach really don’t know what they’re talking about. We are not a business. We are not here to make money.”

Are transit drivers who have been involved in a collision in the past MORE likely to use phones and such while driving?
Well, that's what this study claims.
But wouldn't you think it'd be the opposite?

Could it actually work?
Maybe, but i'd like to see the actual stats. of calls that were made solely because of crimes and such. This study is not as conclusive as it needs to be to determine whether the method actually works well enough for TriMet to completely invest in it (and make it a reasonable investment unlike some of their past screw ups).
