Yes, there is no question. I saw nods when I was speaking. Public transit on provincial highways is no different from public transit on municipal streets. We took delivery of municipal transit buses this week. They're $550,000, on average, for a typical municipal bus. A motorcoach today is $610,000.
We have always said that you could have a capital subsidy for your operating rolling stock—a one-time subsidy where those buses have a 10- to 12-year useful life. We all know how hard it is to ask for operating subsidies each and every year. With the capital subsidy, if we could mirror that in intercity transit in a way that is similar to municipal, we could be in a position as owner-operators where we would not have to pay monies and cash flow for principal and interest. We would have monies available for operating costs.
We feel that having eligibility under the public transit infrastructure fund include intercity transit is a perfect recommendation.
