This poll only shows how ignorant the public is about transportation in general. First, consider the source of the poll, and you can conclude the questions were framed to reflect highly on railroads and poorly on trucks. The notion that trucks don't pay their fair share of highway costs is itself a simplistic rationalization, more attributable to whole rail vs trucks propaganda wars than any scientific analysis. Then you have the poll participants ostensibly wanting more government aid for railroads, which leads one to conclude that the poll participants are not even aware that railroads are not public entities but private entities, therefore not necessarily entitled to taxpayer subsidies in the same vein as public owned entities. <br /> <br />I expect a trucking association can come out with a similar poll, but one in which the questions are biased in their favor, and you'll end up with 90% of Canadians favoring more public aid for truckers. It just goes to show, most transportation issues are out of sight and out of mind to the general public.
