When it snows more people opt to use the tranist system. Now you have more ppl using public tansit and because of the shitty weather half of the buses and mass delays of skytrains will only cause more people waiting. I think it was a few years ago major snow (not really much snow). Skytrains was delays for more than 2hours and most of the buses wasn't operating yet my dad shitty 1990 toyota with all season have no issue.

You increase fare prices people are going to expect better service.
