News flash: No public transit system is self sufficient. Maybe individual lines are, but as a whole transit systems make only a portion of their costs back from the fare box (with the exception of some of those extremely densely populated Asian countries). Heck, even GO transit only recovers 88% of its costs through farebox revenues.

It's not about making money, it's about providing a service. If it was about making money there would be virtually no public transit system. We would just have a few money-making lines (probably in Hamilton the B-line would be the only one), disconnected from the rest of the city.
