This letter is to demonstrate the importance of having a service transit on the territory of the MRC Lac-Saint-Jean-Est.
First, with an issue as important as the environment, it is essential that a network of transit was born in Alma and the MRC. According to the Canadian Automobile Association (CAA) a car costs about $ 7,000 per year to the owner to possess, maintain and refuel gasoline, an amount that goes directly into the pockets of manufacturers and oil . A service transit such as Montreal, for example, is very profitable for the Quebec economy, the Montreal save up to 600 million using services, public transit, this money is well spent and rolled the economy. I do not see why Alma would deprive itself of such an advantage.
Secondly, with the arrival of a transit service, would have perhaps ended the philosophy of always taking the car, because as long as such service does not see the day we will always use the car as the only means of transportation. We will always thank you to the oil companies and automakers. As I said earlier, outstanding amounts go directly into the pockets of citizens and that money is spent in the community and not the reinvestment of oil company.
Third, a transport service is not only economically but also good for the environment. If a service transit born, the air quality that it could not feel better, people would be in better health and health costs would be lower.
For your information, a petition for the establishment of a transit service in Alma and the surrounding area currently circulating. If you have the opportunity to sign it I urge you to do. Many thank you
