Perhaps it has to do with the way it scales? i.e., in a town of 20k, you might only need a couple of "Bus-Plus" sized buses. But in Waterloo Region there are hundreds of big buses, with a huge depot, etc. and maybe the cost of maintenance doesn't scale linearly with the population like that? (I don't know, I'm just throwing it out there)

I know I said the KC Streetcar was free, but I should have mentioned that only the new Streetcar line is free - their bus and BRT system still has a fare.
