All true, except Calgary's 45-minute airport bus connection is no better than ours. Though I believe they have plans to extend LRT to their airport soon-ish.

This makes Arc cards obsolete for anyone with a contactless payment method right? Since the fare cap still applies, the only difference using an Arc card vs tap pay is having to have the physical card on you and paying $6 to get it initially, both are disadvantages imo. Maybe the one...

Is that photoshop? If that's real that is amazing 😂

And new bike racks! Sounds like they will be replaced with the newer style ones that accept fat tire bikes?
