It's a modular design, just extend it. Need an extra shelter? Use the one from Millgate.

They can install the gates at platform level instead.

I was hoping with Exhibition lands that the City could make the rest of WGD free-flowing, but nope. Fox Drive really should be a freeway along with Belgravia Road. It is what it is.

ETS does not have a customer service mentality, they have a passenger service mentality. This is because ETS is not a business run for profit.

I think it should be reused for Ellerslie while the City decides how to cross the road.

There's the 511 that runs from 12 - 2:30 am, but I agree that the hours should be extended to have 24 hour availability.

That was the announcement, yes. Maybe you can reach out to the City to clarify?

Jan 20, the City website just updated with an announcement.

Yes. Granted, the Valley line vehicles have less row seating, if the high floor vehicles follow suit then that difference widens some more. For reference, I was using the LRT design guidelines which lists the AW2 capacity of the SD-160 at 146 pax, lower than the U2 capacity of 160 pax.

That rock pad looks like it's floating on the water. It looks like river levels are low in the picture but I can definitely see Accidental Beach sticking around given how high it is.

Sweet. I wonder what the chances of another accidental beach are (probably close to none)...

Well it's popped up again in the Mass Transit Plan, albeit as a long-term BRT crossing (short term is a detour to Quesnell). The Whyte-87 Ave BRT route that would use it replaces Centre LRT. But getting back on topic, I wonder if work was stymied due to the warm weather and potential for thin...

Anyone planning to line up for the first train when new NAIT station opens?

Ugh. No crossbar either then, guess that's how she went right through.

No, I'm referring to just the first part of the post, Calgary and Toronto's vehicles have nothing to do with my original question.

In the first place, the capacity assumptions that the Siemens and Bombardier vehicles uses are different. The Flexity vehicle capacity assumes AW2, or seating plus 4 ppm. The 190 person capacity of the high floor Siemens vehicles is based on AW3, seating plus 6 ppm instead.

Wait... A Flexity vehicle only has 1.5x the capacity of a SD-160 despite being almost twice the length?

It was already cleaned on NYE. Makes sense that they want to have everything spick-and-span for the event rush

Has construction on the SB Whitemud bus lane started? There's a dirt ramp roughly where it's supposed to go. It's very steep though, might just be a temporary access for equipment.
