“A modern Alberta plan should be much more ambitious than just catching up with the already outdated Canadian present.”

That’s why we’re taking a province-wide approach, looking at the system as a whole, to build the best passenger rail network possible for Albertans.

Alberta, which is Canada’s 4th largest province and on track to be the 3rd largest, lacks meaningful intercity rail. The Province currently has two intercity rail projects that have been contemplated:

- Calgary Airport, Calgary, Banff
- Calgary, Red Deer, Edmonton

At Mimico GO, I just missed my train. Thankfully, today’s brand new 15-minute weekend service on the Lakeshore West Line means that you don’t really need to check a schedule - you just show up and ride!

Great job GO Transit!

No bike lanes on Bathurst street and it's still bumper to bumper traffic.

Bicycles and bike lanes don't cause traffic, personal vehicles *are* the traffic.
