I really dislike that “wealthy people getting stuff” framing as well, and not just for transit.
I’ve seen people complaining about OAS going to wealthier seniors. Well, either wealthy people get it, or there has to be a range of incomes with excessively high marginal tax rates to phase it out. If people think the wealthy aren’t paying enough, raise the income tax rate on the top tax bracket.
