The Editor,
Re. "Referendum poll shows slim lead for new transit tax" (tricitynews.com).
According to the poll, quite a few people don't want to pay that tax because they never use transit.
Don't they know that TransLink is not just buses and SkyTrain but, also, bridges and roads?
Do they like being stuck on a slow-moving freeway because we have a transit system that is too small for a metropolitan area with 2.5 million people?
I don't have a car by choice but don't mind paying for the freeways. I don't have children but don't mind paying for schools, teachers, etc. (never mind, your kids will eventually pay my pension).
