Does anyone have examples of rapid transit systems that cross different jurisdictions?
Although the whole independence and français vs. English is a huge obstacle, it seems to me that the simple fact that Gatineau has the STO and Ottawa has OC is a bigger issue. The question of who pays what in both capital and operating costs is a pretty important one. Of course the fact that both sides of the river are different provinces would cause big problems when it comes to funding.
Most (if not all) transit systems that seamlessly cross boarders is usually operated by a regional transit service, sort of like OC Transpo pre amalgamation, Translink in Vancouver (provincially funded), GO Transit in TO (100% provincially funded) and the San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit District.
