I've rode the tram in Montpellier France and once you're outside of the city centre there is no difference. They went about 80kmh on their own dedicated tracks. I feel like low floor is a better way to integrate with the surrounding environment like a dense city centre but if the train is...

Ah my bad I'm new here and don't often get the subtleties of sarcasm through words. Regardless knowing where tracks are is good but routing and lines can always be changed. It's nice to see where different people have different visions.

Not trying to be a hater or anything but this is literally just a screen grab of the Railway Association of Canada Rail Atlas. Like you just took other peoples stuff and said it was yours. There's nothing about commuter anything it's just a map of railways in Canada...

I've probably spent a good 10 years tinkering about thinking about how the future of rail transit should go in the Calgary area. It's one thing to be a person just thinking about things, another ballgame to make things happen.

How can we run more cars if trains will be longer than a city block and stop traffic?

How can we run more trains when capacity is pretty much full downtown. Trains can't be longer and they already run every 2 minutes during rush hour. Putting the lines underground will be at least a billion.

I'm fairly new here and not sure how to quote but this is my worry about feeding to LRT terminal stations. Airdrie funneling feeder busses to the green line or Okotoks sending people to Silverado concerns me that LRT will become crowded before it even reaches inner city stations. This was an...

Yeah I'll try to fish them out and get back to you I just cleared out my inbox not long ago. I think I mostly got replies from PR people except for Airdrie it was the transit coordinator Chris. I also got a response by Jeff from LRT on the green talking about his position and the steps to take...

So I have been emailing CP, Parks Canada and different towns around Calgary to try to find any interests in these places on a regional rail system. So far all my replies have been mixed: CP claimed they would tolerate trains on their rails as long as they don't cut into their profit and they...
