Taxpayers Fund Walmart Shuttle

Author: Colin Craig 2010/02/10

The City of Regina is funding a new shuttle that runs every half hour from Walmart's former location in the Southland Mall to its new location further west. Other businesses and Colin Craig of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation say this practice shows favoritism. Mayor Pat Fiacco says the goal is service to citizens, not businesses. Roughly two-thirds of Regina's transit budget comes from taxpayers. The shuttle run will reportedly cost the city of Regina $70,000.
