Oooh I like this haha thanks for making that

I have once or twice but I only remember so well because I was truly shocked

From looking at CPTDB wiki, I estimate ETS has ≈60 articulated 60foot buses but I hardly ever see them on our busiest routes (8,9,4). I’ve seen them occasionally on the 9, but never on the other 2. Is there something restricting them to 40foot buses on those routes? I understand many have been...

We could also go back to our roots (blatantly copying Frankfurt) and go for the Flexity Swift U5, might be more difficult since there hasn’t been any North American variants ordered.

I would love to watch someone getting worked up at a Vancouver MP town hall about restricting infrastructure funding to Edmonton

Started pretty weak, crashed and burned at the end. I’m not going to dignify this with a real, thorough response, but I’ll tell you that Edmonton is not Vancouver. The skytrain service, design, and priorities are superb for a place like Vancouver, but they just don’t make sense here. I don’t...

Sure, but I don’t think anybody is sitting for a minute at Muttart thinking “awe if this train would’ve kept going I could eventually have a little bit more accumulated free time over the span of my entire life.” Yeah if you sum it all up, it’s a lot of time, but most people don’t think about...

I have a bad feeling this, like many first expansions here, will go to Windermere :(

I honestly think this is a pretty bad idea. First of all, the station is supposed to be the showcase of the line, and is the whole reason the line is called the "Valley" line. Not only access to the Muttart (which is open all week, not just seasonally or during events) but also access to the...

Good point. It is THE lrt

I agree. I especially think a bit of dynamicity with how we colour our transit wouldn't hurt. I really like how Vancouver and Seattle give their BRT special liveries and I hope whatever BRT we're hopefully soon to receive employs that practise (also frameless bus windows please).

Also, to what Tim Cartmell said, I don't think anyone who isn't delusional moving to Keswick is expecting to use buses.

Sure it's good to have rapid transit expanding to newer areas but when we have large chunks of the city severely underserved by transit such as the NW that are considerably older than the SW.

Does anyone know how extending LRT out of legal Edmonton boundaries works in terms of funding, procurement, construction, etc? My uneducated assumption would be that the city of St. Albert works with ETS or some sort of consortium, depending on how it's built, and they work with the province and...

Idk about that. If you’re sitting in Whyte remedy on a weekday morning like this one, you’ll likely see a bus pass on average every 2 minutes. That’s a need if I’ve ever seen one. Plus, a train down Whyte would be good for Sherwood Park students… “we’re gonna build a train, and we’re gonna make...

Oh good to see they’re on top of it too

Apple Maps have added the line to the transit layer, they seem to be more on top of updating transit than google maps from what I’ve seen in other cities… plus it looks nicer

I’m gonna be on that first train as if my life depends on it (it does)

The machines have tap which should include apple pay if that's what you mean

I agree! I think the whole “forget it, TOD in Edmonton has failed” thing is just another case of Edmonton-bubble-expectation-let-down syndrome. Is there a North American metro close in population that has more successful TOD than us?
