Money has come to from somewhere to pay for this, if you have other suggestions besides raising the gas tax that would be acceptable to the greater part of the community, I am sure many people would be interested to hear what it is.

Here's a crazy idea, how about we rise the cost to use transit. Why do those who don't/can't use it are the ones having to pay for it?
Why do I feel like that for those who don't or can't use mass transit are the ones getting punished here?
