Edmonton International Airport (EIA/YEG)

[BASE]

I still hear far too many people noting they weren't aware a bus to the airport is even an option which is hard to believe. 30 minute service would be nice for sure and if service is already doing pretty well perhaps once passenger numbers reach pre-pandemic levels that could become a reality.

It's not a priority for ETS and really needs more attention from a variety of parties.

I complained a few years ago that the YEG boarding zone for those arriving was beside the smoking area. Talk about dumb; I believe they moved it?

Kinda, the stop is out on a curb away from the taxi area where it's been for a bit. I didn't smell or see smoke, but that could just be because of chance

Nice recap/insights. You should definitely share it with YEG/ETS, too.

Done and done, thanks for the suggestion

It's not a priority because the regional transit commission is taking it over?

Lets hope EIA transit is not lost amongst the many priority routes.

Is it actually being transferred? This would be a flagship route for the regional transit service. I would expect they'd recognize that.

I thought all routes that go outside City borders would be transferred, altho other people who follow EMTSC progress more closely / have ins would be better informed to comment.

I wonder if the 91 st extension by Leduc County (Nisku Spine Road) will be a transit route as well. The City really needs to widen the stretch from Ellerslie to 41 ave SW tho, it's horribly congested...

It is in the EMTSC business case, but ETS will maintain their own services for a while, so it's hard to say. Would be much more clear if the EMTSC ever publishes its day one operating plan

Sad news about then air show being cancelled. Likely with the snowbirds being the headliner it just wasn’t going to be feasible to deliver a proper show without that act. Just my sense of it anyways.

Looks like they are finally repairing/replacing that torn, tattered, faded, ripped red canopy at the “Rendezvous Place.” I was hoping they were going to replace it with something modern and stylish but looks like we’re just getting a new canopy?

Rather than sandblasting the rust at the bases, a one coat that barely conceals the rust? Last pic shows the EIA painters/contractors simply throwing away their paint tray in the guest garbage rather them their own garbage can.

Mostly returning to levels slightly above last winter. The comparison is misleading because it only compares to what was scheduled for the Winter, not to actuals from last winter. In any event, more opportunity for Flair!!
