Due to the lack of transportation I was unable to attend the funeral today for my mother. 

Low and lower income people suffer these types of consequences all the time, due to the continued government failures on transportation in our communities and in our province. 

Politicians at all levels of government must start to also consider low and lower income people and not continue to ignore these issues.  However , this is highly unlikely to ever happen and the status quo failed policies continue on.
