I am absolutely not interested in your Canadian Transit System at all man. You were mingling up the subsidies with some other stupidities.Intelligent Patwari
The public transit systems in Canada are owned by local city governments and operated by crown corporations of City. The federal and provincial governments may provide a portion of money for bigger projects which a City can't afford at its own but still the annual operating budget is of city government responsibility not provincial or federal.
There are three source of money for the operating budgets, 60% from Tickets/Passes and 40% is from Advertisement and Property taxes.
In case Lahore Metro the model of Shahbaz was that whole Punjab will subsidize metro for a portion of Lahore and money will be siphoned out of country via a Turkish company.
And I think we talked about this subject over a year ago and I gave you example of your own city. (gave you links). Unfortunately, I did not know you well enough at that time. I thought that you have the capability to read and understand.
