The problem isn't that conservatives don't want transit.
The problem is, we don't trust government to provide it 1) on time, 2) on budget and 3) in the right place and the right amount.
Give us the option of transit like they have in Hong Kong (the MTR corp. is privatized - service is exemplary, with delays of a few minutes being major news items), and conservatives would be onboard (no pun intended).

History has proven us right again and again (in Ontario and Toronto at least).
I'd grudgingly pay DVP/Gardiner tolls if I didn't think the TTC would fritter the money away onto salary increases and other foolishness.
