“We are very pleased and the members are very satisfied due to the simple fact that like the minister rightly said, it will be a minimal increase. This decision was made based on the best interest of the general public and daily commuters. And with this right here it’ll be able to allow the operators to operate more efficiently and more responsibly due to the fact that, like I said before, this is a lifeline and the increase is very modest. It will be fifty cents in certain years, twenty-five in certain years and a dollar maximum. It will not exceed that and in terms of the subsidy, it will only be for a three month period. I hope it didn’t have to happen, but it happened. It’s unfortunate, but we need to realize that we are dealing with emotions. Everyone have their own personal feelings what they’re going through. Everyone deal with situation differently. Me personally, I just, I’m very pleased that no one was hurt and it was resolved quickly and peacefully and I’m very pleased with that result.”
