More and more people are saying this.

NGL these are some pretty astounding stats, especially considering how car-brained most of Canada is. Even so, our transit usage (in major cities) completely eclipses the yanks (I have not independently verified these stats but the user seems knowledgeable enough that I did not bother).

Taken from a reddit-logo thread from /r/fuckcars on the topic of obesity rates between different states/provinces (the consensus was that while there are other factors at play such as diet, car-dependency seems to be the overall defining factor for obesity rates).

Wait until you find out that some of these agencies are contracted to private firms and the only thing keeping them from being absolutely cruel to the drivers is the ATU (some agencies may or may not be unionized or privately contracted but I'm too tired to check all six billion LA county agencies)

The rabbit hole of transportation being contracted to private firms is long winded, ridiculous, and not to the surprise of most comrades, typical of corporate shenanigans

Somehow it's arguably worse than that quote makes it sound. Just scrub around in that video and every last one is just the worst
