for example 312 for ten rides bet ween Newmarket and Toronto the same price as on the bus This change undoubtedly in fluenced the sharp jump in train passengers SHOW PREFERENCE The public preference to use train and bus facilities in our area is borne out in the Toronto Area Transit operating results In the first eight months of this year total carryings by bus and train in the Toronto area were up 162 per cent Some 92 million passengers were carried on the GO service with over million of that number being carried by train The limited train service to Georgetown was up 281 per cent while the Lakeshore trains up 115 per centcarried 55 million passengers Lakeshore G0 service is packed Many trains in peak hours carry 1800 people twice their seating capacity The public wants the service and its usage should be encouraged An integrated trainbuscar tran sportation system is essential in the Toronto area It is unfortunate that the federal government has taken little interest in facilitating the development of urban tran sportation systems In the budget speech on June 23 1975 John Turner then Minister of finance justified in part the governments new 10 cents per gallon tax on gasoline by sayingThe increased cost of gasoline will encourage the use of public transportation ONTARIO SUBSIDY But someone has to provide the public transportation Passenger fares on GO transit are based on cents per mile charge with ano allowance for depreciation The province pays for the capital items and gives 40 per cent subsidy to cover operating expenses This is still cheap compared to the cost of building expressways or subways GO transits im mediate needs for providing new rail services in Toronto in cluding double tracking thirty miles of new lines and better switching equipment to allow for doubledecker cars is $85 million That is the cost of two miles of subway construction To date however the federal authorities have done little to assist municipalities such as Toronto in developing proper transit facilities They did provide $10 million for the pur chase of rolling stock to be used on Toronthichmond Hill commuter service to com mence January 1976 It is now anticipated due to track development difficulties this service will not begin until the fall ot next year but the rolling stock three tencar trains with locomotives has been delivered The trains are being used by the Toronto Area Tran sit Authority to relieve pressure on their Georgetown and Lakeshore runs ODD PRIORITY Further commuter train developments in the Toronto area have been stymied however until $58 million wor th of changes are made to the downtown Toronto railyard facilities The province had in dicated they will spend these funds if necessary but the federal government has declined to make any con tribution It is strange that the federal government would feel that the building of the CN Tower which cost $57 million and stands on 12 acres of CN railyard lands is more im portant than improvements to the railyard which would facilitate commuter tran sportation into downtown Toronto In the meantime York Simcoe residents will have to wait for increased commuter rail service and GO lakeshore passengers will continue to stand during rush hours I976 77 Series CANADA Now available of $2 the munlclnal savuigs loari CDIDDIEIIIOIP HEAD OFFICE 88 Dunlop St BARRIE ONTARIO 726 7200
