Demolished. To be clear, we're talking about the shelter structure which is modular, not the platform as well. The platform will most likely be demolished. When building the SLRT extension, modular shelter buildings were installed at the temporary Southgate TC. Later, they were relocated to...

I have been quite happy with what I have seen with the Valley Line so far. No rail breaks or catenary issues with the cold weather. My bigger concern for reliability is other weather conditions like snow (there seemed to be issues when the snow was coming down, and after) or freezing rain. The...

I'm at a loss for the comment that ETS doesn't have much of a customer service mentality. I feel that any special pricing for major events could be detrimental to regular service. If the funding comes out of the regular ETS budget, then where are you regular cutting service to compensate...

The problem I see with Century Park and Southgate. They seem like they would be easy stations to set up fare gates in, but, when you consider that the pedways are there for non-transit pedestrian use as well, suddenly it becomes a lot more challenging to configure fare gates, short of deciding...

I read somewhere that Tim Cartmell had an unsolicited quote for $30 million. Vancouver was $195 million for 53 stations ($3.7 million each). St. Louis was $45.8 million for 38 stations ($1.2 million each) BART was $90 million for 50 stations ($1.8 million each). Of course, those figures are a...

Depending upon how busy it is and if I am getting on or off, I will just tap and keep moving. In particular if it's busy or I am getting off. More often than not I will then get the beep a second or two later that everything is alright. Boarding, I will do a quick tap but will usually linger...

This was on a Vicinity. Nice big, glass, single piece door. Plug style too rather than a slide glide style.

I fail to follow. How does registering a card create revenue? Registering does protect balances. Benefits of Registering an Arc Account: Protect your money if your card is ever lost or stolen. Auto-reload money on your account. Link multiple Arc cards on one account. Required for access to...

It already exists, although it is a manual intervention the operator would have to make.

I was impressed with seeing the crowds on the Valley Line yesterday. I believe they were running every 10 minutes, all 2 car trains. The way the process works apparently for TransEd's level of service, be it frequency and/ or train length, is that the City puts in the request in advance for the...

I blame TransEd for that. It is vague, and I was going to comment that this was the metric they used on the VLSE to communicate completion, but, it was only for part of the time. Up until Q1 2020 the VLSE quarterly reports used "Cumulative Schedule Performance" as the metric, which was a grim...

Traction power substation.

TransEd apparently had some technical issues today. Got to Davies to find nothing running, message signs noting a service delay, and a few PA announcements being made. Took the 73 instead. I only ride the Valley Line occasionally, but, this is now the 3rd delay I've encountered in the last...

The signal system can accommodate headways even closer than 2.5 minutes. I've seen trains 2 minutes apart. However, whether the system can reliably and constantly handle 2.5 minute frequencies is another matter. I think that was more or less what another poster said in regards to the current 6...

The 56 has taken on a lot of 516 riders since it is a more direct option. The question is though, did ETS offset the 516 and 56 to provide 30 minute service between Mill Woods and Meadows?

The chance that it is a ETSAB member responsible for updating the website is slim to none. It's most likely a City employee in charge of updating ETSAB and other advisory board pages. Updates to the ETSAB page has been sporadic at best for the last 1 year+.

It needs to graduate from a 30' bus to a 40' bus first if demand is there.

Other than in the Kennedale area, I haven't been able to figure that out yet. I assume it is an existing building, but the guess they could do something like a "temporary" structure like the Ferrier tents.

Churchill, Central had them, Bay, and Corona were built for them. Government Centre and University were not. In particular there is one elevator at University that goes from street level to platform level which sort of falls outside of the traditional fare collection areas. I think Government...

The page is due for an update, and I haven't actually linked to anything yet... but, there are pics of the original station. https://barp.ca/bus/alberta/ets/infrastructure/lrtstations/clareview/index.html
