      <![CDATA[Why are you considering the extension of a service that cannot be fully funded in the future? FREX was implemented from a "GRANT (in 2004) that we did not want to lose" The service began in October 2004, initially funded by grants designed to reduce pollution and highway congestion.

Please remind me again why we are competing with the Private sector as a business? Just look at our fees for this service compared to theirs, no wonder we are losing money everyday.
