OC Transpo deficit for last year swells to $52M | CBC News

The shortfall came from lower fare revenue and dashed hopes of bailout money, as the transit deficit sinks even lower than the $47 million previously forecast.

@auxonic This is so disingenuous. OC Transpo has a deficit because it has user fees and is run on a cost-recovery model (even if we'll never recover all the costs from fares).

If drivers had to cover the cost of road maintenance through tolls that deficit would be something to worry about.
