    (whining) But that would mean funding public transit well, which might mean it’s not profitable!

    Meanwhile we keep funding cops to the tune of 30%+ of budgets.

      Roads also aren’t profitable.

      A bike path costs 1/10th the cost of a road, and requires 1% the maintaince over time (less SNIC)

        In a city like Winnipeg where we historically have -20 to -40C temps for 6 months of the year, bike paths aren’t used as much.

        Remember to take into account different temperate zones when making blanket statements.
