As a resident of Ontario I am thoroughly against this bill. I remember when the government rolled out the gas tax reduction in 2022, something I often heard then was we needed to reduce the price of gas because people 'had no choice but to drive'. I fail to see how removing alternatives to driving helps with this.
Cycling:
-Provides physical exercise (saving money for our health care industry)
-Is cheaper
-Is safer
-Makes less noise and takes up less space (more pleasent for the local community)
-Infrastructure also provides access for people with disabilities, old and young people who cant drive
But you need to provide a safe network of transit to get people to use it - because cars are so dangerous. Why are we helping the most dangerous form of transit?
