But my point is to just give them the money and they can use it in the most efficient way.

That's my whole point about the advantages of the CT going to general revenue. If you commit CT revenue to "transit and other infrastructure", you have a carbon-tax sized hole in gen revenue that has to be made up somehow and even worse,
you may wind up with funding in search of a project.
IMO geometry just makes it difficult for any significant green infrastructure to be built in a fair and equitable manor versus other rural areas, versus metro vancouver.
