In terms of the private sector involvement, I'm aware of only some in Canada. There is some private sector involvement, for example, in the city of Vaughan, north of Toronto, where some of that system was set up. But it's heavily subsidized by the province. It's $4 a rider that's being put into that bus system to keep it running. A person pays $2.50 for his or her fare, and the province pays another $4. But it's private, and therefore it's better.
Generally speaking, Canada is too big for the private sector to be a significant player in a public transit system, with the exception, perhaps, of some bus systems, as an operator--as in wall-to-wall, we're going to build a system, we're going to operate it, and we're going to make money. Because there isn't the density to provide it, generally speaking, in Canada. Am I correct is saying that?
I'm not saying that there isn't a role. I'm just saying that you can't just hand the keys to the TTC over to the private sector and all of a sudden it's going to make money.
