When a transit surcharged is applied to tickets such as Bluesfest or RedBlacks it is to compensate the city for additional buses required to service the events. Bluesfest organizers fought the surcharge but were forced into it. The equivalent for the Sens would be if the demand outstripped current supply for buses, so its a little misleading on the part of the city. Not to mention the original issue was the alterations to Palladium drive (IN THE PART THE SENS PAID FOR). The city is bending over for the developer by allowing them to build the cheaper option in lieu of development charges.
