The ridiculous thing is that most people here and otherwise seem to miss the point that moose's model isn't like what we've seen before. It is 100% funded by the private sector unlike conventional transit which is heavily payed by taxes. There's no point in arguing about a price you don't have to pay. That's equivalent to someone giving you a house and then rejecting the offer saying the house is too expensive.
Jim Watson's objection isn't based on funds, it's based on this providing service outside the city of Ottawa limits. I on the other hand think this is a good thing. Everywhere in Canada small rural areas are turning into ghost towns, this type of project would promote existing communities and allow them to continue existing.
