One of at least May be get Ting better. Some optimism is emerging from attempts to develop bet Ter Public transportation sys tems in Urban areas at reasonable Cost and thereby re Duce the pollution congas Jon blight and waste caused by private cars. Such considerations As Economy convenience and the fear of a fuel shortage appear to have assumed More importance in the Battle be tween private cars and sub ways buses streetcars and commuter trains. The private car dominates everywhere but Many Urban planners Are working to undermine it. James Kearns president of the Canadian Urban transit association p r e d i c t s that Urban canadians will use Public transportation More As it becomes More efficient while parking and gasoline costs mount and traffic congestion increases. Douglas Fullerton former head of the National capital commission in Ottawa says people Are starting to see the private car As a dangerous he sees no magic Way of reducing the private domination. It must be. Done piece by piece in an Over All program. Public transit must be improved with special greater transit subsidies and possibly the dial a bus scheme. A Cross Canada Survey by the Canadian press indicates that these ideas and others Are being tried out in Many that Many of the experiments Are reported successful Ontario or. Kearns says Ontario is blazing the Trail for All America in the provincial government s approach t o Public transportation. The government now meets 80 per cent of the capital and equipment costs for transit systems. Some other prov inces Don t give their cities a cent for Public transportation. The Toronto transit com Mission lists some of the Steps taken by it other authorities and governments to encourage use of Public transportation i this would include re served , maintaining streetcars in the development o f pedestrian malls subway extensions new subway lines parking at subway stations expanded go Ontario commuter train rail facilities staggered hours. Toronto like Many other cities is experimenting. With dial a bus service this fall. The service in which suburbanites usually pay an extra fare to be picked up at their own Doorstep after Tele phoning for radio equipped buses being tried in Ottawa Kingston Sudbury and Stratford. In Ottawa plans Are under Way for More express bus routes and exclusive on some main streets within a year.

Sulli Van has More passengers a year than any other City in North America without a rail system except for los an Geles and Detroit. Vancouver handles 72 Mil lion passengers a year four times the Load of Portland and that of Seattle both of comparable size. The greater Vancouver regional District has maintained since 1971 that Public transit has a higher priority than a regional roads program. Vancouver Council has said it will restrict downtown parking and next year will close a portion of Granville Street a main downtown artery to. All traffic except buses. A third crossing of Jurrard Inlet to North Vancouver and West Vancouver has been turned Down in favor of improving Public transit. A Park and in v a n c o u v e r in which Drivers Park their cars at the Pacific National exhibition grounds and ride the rest of the Way downtown in express buses has been judged a Suc Cess by officials and Drivers. Quebec Lawrence Hannigan chair Man of the Montreal Urban Community says permits for parking lots downtown Are no longer being Given out thus encouraging use of Public transportation. He added that it is not becoming easier to Park on the streets for an extended period. There Are plans however to set up More parking lots at terminus stations of subway lines soon to be completed. The subway which now carries about 40 per cent of the one million people who use system daily for at least part of their journey is to gain an additional 28 Miles and 52 stations. There Are already 16 Miles and 26 stations. Alberta Prairie cities Lack the congestion found in Central can Ada and Are therefore Given a Good Chance of. Solving Many transportation problems be fore they become much worse. Edmonton City Council has Given general approval to making the City of the third municipality in Canada with a subway system. The line would be partly underground and partly along the car right of Way for an initial 4.2 Miles. It is expected to open by 1978. The Council in response to Public pressure has also abandoned construction of a freeway through a wooded Ravine just As Toronto abandoned its Spadina express Way. Calgary is also advancing with plans for a subway and has developed what officials term an advanced form of express bus service.

Statistics show that 25 per cent of the Blue Arrow riders have been enticed away from private cars.
