Transit in HRM used to be slightly over 50% covered by fares, and that was taken away by council forcing expansion into rural service that can never, ever get to that level, even if full.
For example, MetroX would have to cost $4.50-$5.00 each way to get to 50% subsidy, IF it is full, which it is to Tantallon, and is not to the Airport.
The struggle is that quality service can only be attained at a level that people can afford to pay in the dense areas. Council has been forcing coverage over quality for political reasons. I hope we can stop this now.
