While it is right to be angry and frustrated at how taxpayer money is spent (I am too -- but for different reasons) -- there are some errors in your post so I am not going to bother replying in full. Here's a partial reply, however.

A major bus expansion/rejig will be happening, as part of the plan -- it has been brought up many times with some foot dragging and the current debate is (probably) actually helping accelerate this. We may eventually find out that the departure of Dixon, will hopefully be helpful in respect to this. Seeing a large HSR fleet expansion and the new bus garage will be good Hamilton-wide. LRT amplifies connecting bus routes, and HSR needs to take advantage of this. HSR is able to have better systemwide farebox recovery despite the loss of the 10 B-Line Express, with other cities successfully improving farebox recovery of a bus network connecting to a new LRT.

One major blooper in your post -- they are working to integrate fares with revenue transfers to municipal, etc -- it's even listed on the MetrolinxEngage website. Fix your errors, and I may reply in fuller text. Others can dissect your post. Good day.
