TORONTO -- If you build it, they will come.
That was the message Premier Kathleen Wynne is broadcasting while touting her plan to spend billions on public transit, roads and bridges if her Liberals are re-elected.
She says she doesn't think it'll be tough to persuade motorists in the Toronto-Hamilton area to give up their vehicles for transit.
Wynne says people want to take public transit because it's easier to get where they need to go, just as she did when she lived in the Netherlands for a few years.
She says people want more frequent public transit that they can rely on, which is why her party wants to provide $29 billion over the next decade for transit and transportation infrastructure.
The money would be divided equally between the Toronto-Hamilton area and the rest of the province.
The New Democrats and a union representing Toronto transit workers are accusing Wynne of trying to privatize public transit in the city.
Wynne spoke privately with the president of the union, who showed up at her first campaign stop with a few other workers.
Bob Kinnear, head of the Amalgamated Transit Union 113, says he wasn't satisfied with their chat.
