I loathe our sharp snappy station names such as "City Hall/Bow Valley College" and "SAIT/AUArts/Jubilee" (and the announcements spell out the entire thing "SAIT, Alberta University of the Arts, Jubilee Station" o_O why not spell out SAIT too while you're at it??)
I need some help for a project, would anybody know the exact depth of the pedway connecting Gov't Centre with the Legislature? Information about the dimensions of the station underground are hard to find... thx in advance
I think that since the provincial fare card ship has sailed, the next best thing would be both Arc and MyFare allowing bank cards as account tokens. Even if you have to make two accounts you could use a single card between the two cities. I know this is in the 2023-26 timeline for Calgary, I'd...

Please for the sake of all that is holy, no Alstom products!!
This has always been my dream, along with the U5-KR open gangway type sets...
I would bet they'd go with the Buffalo design style as Cleveland and St. Louis have.
But beware, our order of an additional 26 S200s has been severely delayed from their 2020 delivery date. Siemens said they'd start arriving this year but now they might be more than 10 months away still ☹️
Unless you're as dumb as me and miss the first sign while an articulated bus blocks the second 🫣
Some red paint would easily solve this issue for other dunces
Train is great though
