Could easily be done. Just take away all that money that is funnelled into the pockets of the Translink c-suite.

And being a private corporation, if their money is taken they could shut down Translink and go out out of business. As long as it has private ownership, they can cancel all transit services anytime they want if the money is cancelled.

No government legislation can stop a private business from shutting down. Transit will only be free by raising everybody's taxes to take more of everybody's money, as I said through higher sales taxes and/or higher income taxes for all people.
