We don't have area-rating for transit within the cities, but we do have it for the townships. So there is some politics involved in adding or increasing transit service to a township that there wouldn't be for a neighbourhood within the city.

This is why the Region should move away from area-rating and roll all transit spending into one, Region-wide levy (or portion of your tax bill).  Otherwise, any service extension would be met with the usual arguments against having a levy added to the tax bill.  Instead, the Region could simply roll out transit changes based needs and service priorities rather than by which ratepayers are likely to complain the least if there is fee added to their tax bill.  Can you imagine how the WRPS would have evolved if any service improvement into one of the Cities or Townships included the need to convince residents that they needed to pay extra for this service while their neighbours in the next Township didn't need to?
