No stops in Nisku even though 4 BRT lines cross through it. But same as Acheson, ridership is likely low.

@Gronk!^^ I think Acheson could also be served.
You can see the proposed frequency for each route (minus the airport express) in this document; each route has its own slide, starting on page 13.Regarding these regional routes, is there an planned minimum level of service? I haven't been following the plant in detail, but I can't help but worry they'd plan out all these routes and then you end up with 45m headway that's mostly useless anyways.
So what is the Downtown YEG Express frequency?You can see the proposed frequency for each route (minus the airport express) in this document; each route has its own slide, starting on page 13.
Don't know, I didn't tune into the meeting where it was created. This document is from before that.So what is the Downtown YEG Express frequency?
Huh ... go figure. Maybe the City trying to save money that would have otherwise flowed to the Regional system? I do not understand why the Regional system has to provide a bus instead of the City. Edmonton is across the highway from EIA and certainly could run a bus there cheaper than the Regional system - oh wait on second thought maybe not.30 peak and 60 off-peak if I remember correctly from the meeting. What really bothers me is you've got regional transit planning to go ahead with this AND you've got city council asking ETS about creating a route from downtown to the airport. They're not at cross-purposes, but they certainly don't seem to be working together yet.
The 747 buses now operating have luggage racks, free wifi on board and very courteous drivers.Might be a dumb question but will the buses serving these routes have a unique bus design and logo or just running with what’s in fleets for now?
If both ETS and the regional agency run service to YEG, that means more total frequency, which is all good in my books. I agree though that it seems like a lack of coordination between the two agencies. I wonder if Councilor Stevenson considered that when she proposed the ETS service.Huh ... go figure.

I think there is little doubt she did. And perhaps your right it was to increase frequency.If both ETS and the regional agency run service to YEG, that means more total frequency, which is all good in my books.
