Essential workers — nurses, doctors, cleaners, grocery store staff and many more — rely on transit to get to work, and public transit across Canada has kept running, often with rear-door boarding and no fares to protect drivers, throughout the Covid-19 crisis.
Now public transit systems across Canada are facing service cuts and driver layoffs, and municipalities are not allowed to borrow money to support local services even in a crisis, so emergency funding must come from the provinces and the federal government. Right now we need more services, not less, to prevent overcrowding and support both economic and social recovery.
Canada is one of the only major countries that hasn’t announced emergency funding for public transport yet.
You can help change that…
