The bike is being pitted…

The bike is being pitted against the car and is a deliberate distraction from fact that what is really needed to reduce congestion, is to provide fast, efficient, mass transportation. Fewer people would need to drive if good, reliable transit was available to them. We would also be reducing our collective climate footprint.
The provincial Minister of Transportation Prabmeet Sarkaria, would do well to turn his attention to solving some of the problems inhibiting the delivery of effective public transit.
The Eglington Crosstown, after 13 years, has no completion date.
The people in Scarborough are facing years without decent transit while a new Scarborough Subway extension is being built.
The TTC is limping along through lack of funding from the province.
The service on many of the bus route is inadequate.
We need a vision for the future and not to take giant steps backwards by removing bike lanes.
