Jokes aside, yes, Canadian infrastructure is fucking horrible. The average Canadian has no clue whatsoever how backwards Canada is in many regards, and how we get fucked over backwards. Instead, they defend it like the fucking retards they are. Canada literally has a culture of mediocrity.

It's a chicken-egg problem. Public transportation infrastructure outside urban centres is shit because the people living there don't want to fund it, and people don't want to fund it because it's already shit (so they don't use it).

The best transit in the country is in NYC or Washington DC

in NYC you have to put up with homeless, blacks, and piss smells left and right. Also there's no air conditioning in the lines that go out to Brooklyn and in the summer it can be 40 degrees down there. I was with a German and she could barely breathe down there.

in Wash DC you have to put up with downed lines, blacks, and stabbings every week. Not only that but the metro lines go into such strict routes that you have to drive to the stations unless you live close to a stop (Enjoy your $2000 per month rental).

Imagine living in a country as small as the Netherlands where people commute from the north to the south daily for work, it's that small and comfy, everyone is quiet in the trains, and it's 90% white. Fuck I want that.
>>
>>57172698
NYC and DC have the coverage, but their lines are literally crumbling. Chicago, Boston, SF, and Philly have proper rapid transit too. Seattle (where I live) is in the process of expanding their light metro lines north, south, and east. By 2023. we'll have four light metro lines, two commuter rail lines, four streetcar lines, great BRT lines all over the city, and 140 miles of trolleybus routes.

It's not all bad here.

NYC also has neither trams nor trolleys. It's also shit system

>>57172327
I think you're underappreciating the kind of traffic an airport generates.

The Oslo airport express train transports 20 000 passengers a day, and turned a profit of 30 million dollars in 2014.

The line is obviously dependant on the kind of public transit infrastructure that already exists elsewhere in the city, and the initial capital investment was huge (~1 billion USD in 1997), but it's popular and profitable enough that it's hardly a luxury.

If you work in DC then $2000 is no problem

The average wage in DC is over $65,000 starting as a first year out of university.
My brother got an 80k starting job being an executive assistant, and if you have a basic government job you already make 110k by year 3.
One of my friends used to work part-time at Quantico while at university (all he did was data entry) and now he has a 120k job at age 25 working in Langley Virginia right outside of DC.

yeah the price is high for rental, and in DC you'd be lucky to get an apartment for under $1700 monthly, but remind yourself your job should be 75k range starting.....
>>
>>57173138
It's no use arguing with faggots like that. Don't bother.
>>
>>57173157

That's because the line to Gardermoen is overpriced as shit and there is no other option to get to central Oslo and you know this. Unless you want to take a shitty bus (also overpriced) to some random stop outside the central, which no one does unless they're getting picked up by someone during the day.

I visited Helsinki and I thought it was a very beautiful city. Liked it much better than Stockholm. I'd like to live there if only you weren't so far north.

But yes, subways in Canada are pitiful, even here in Toronto.
