Where the candidates stand on Transit City

The latest survey of candidates' views on transit are now posted on the Public Transit Coalition's website.

The coalition is the same group that just spent $500,000 from the TTC workers' union to set up a website and ad campaign warning against the evils of privatized transit and the one that supported Mayor David Miller's fight against the province's deferral of $4 billion in Transit City light rail funding in last spring's budget.

Not surprisingly the survey questions are geared at gauging candidate support for Transit City and for maintaining city council oversight of the TTC.

Incumbents seem to score well on this survey, hardly a shock since they were in the government that backed the Transit City plan.
