with the Canadian dollar growing in strength is our purchasing price getting better or worse for us for the 30 (or whatever) Buses we buy every year?

If a widget is imported there could be a significant impact on the price. Parts imported from the US the price conceivably could drop.

yeah but are the buses mostly made in the US and just put together there... or vice versa?

My understanding is the buses are mostly made here with final assembly in the US. I stand to be corrected.

Does it really matter since the city funds transit over and above the revenue transit generations by 43 million or more every year?

Are you saying that the City spends $43,000,000 for Transit? Seems pretty expensive ? Why wouldn't the "user fees" cover the cost? How many rides does transit users have per year? Maybe the transit service should be worked out to make money? Cut back to one bus every 2 days?

I cannot click on anything and get it to stay- 44,000,000 riders going to work? I think that doesn't make much sense. maybe they counted arms and legs?
