Attachment 3 has been updated with actual boarding numbers for each route.

During the March 2020 - Aug 2020, pandemic service reductions, extra service was added to the old 125 (current 3) between Westmount-Kingsway during weekday midday (every 15 mins) & peaks to address overcrowding.

The City is doing a survey (another survey 
) on public preferences for three different seating layouts for 53 new LRT cars (37 replacement and 16 for additional capacity).
cityofedmonton.qualtrics.com
Before you get to provide any input or feedback, they want to know how many times you've used the system in the last 3 months and how many times you plan to use it in the next three months.
Apparently they're happy with current ridership on the system because if you answer none, you get the following message:
"Thank you for your interest and participation!
At this time we are looking to hear from those who use Edmonton transit or plan to use Edmonton transit in the near future. We look forward to your participation in future surveys."
You'd think feedback from those that don't currently use the system in regard to what they would find attractive in potentially using it might be of interest but you'd be wrong.
I get the importance of feedback from your current users but by using the same questions to eliminate feedback from others they could just as easily isolate feedback from non-users and maybe find out why.

The City of Edmonton is currently considering three seating layout options for future LRT trains on the Capital and Metro LRT lines.

Maybe they should be doing more surveys on safety, satisfaction with service frequency, etc... I get the feeling they don't want too much feedback.

The survey seems more interesting in segregating and pandering to specific groups rather than the usual everyday riders

Maybe you all should be inundating 311 with your complaints about the LRT seating survey.

Urbanism & transit content isn’t going to convince the powers that be to enhance existing airport service.
Powers that be for 747 are brought together under the Airport Accord.
Increasing the 747 from 60 mins off-peak to 30 mins would be a small win, long overdue & more importantly, warranted because of high ridership with 60 minute service.
Everyone needs to be brought together to discuss.
In Edmonton, productive service has been rewarded with more frequent peak & off-peak service.
20 out of 40 growth buses have been funded for satellite garage.

Good discussion at Urban Planning Committee today. With focus on equity for service planning, ETS is taking a refreshing & leading approach to underperforming service & reallocations, recognizing that transit service is an essential service instead of the "use it or lose it" approach we've gone through in the past.

Replace xxx with route number, i.e 004, 052, 926, 500x
On Demand is being added in Aldergrove due to construction related detour for route 914. (current map)
