Sounds like the province of Ontario.<BR/><BR/>Why can't US states follow suit? Nothing is stopping US states from funding transit if they don't feel like waiting for the feds. NYC is doing exactly that with its Westside subway expansion in Manhattan, and NJ funded its River Line a few years ago with entirely local funds.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
