I think it'll look okay, based on the material shown in the DP it's closer to a fence than a mesh and the holes are 4x7 inches Edit: bossman beat me by seconds lol

Except the boneheads at the city would just call it that anyways then stick Rocky Ridge or Tuscany on the sign. That's what they do with Somerset - Bridlewood, the signs just say "Somerset"

Can we sneak out in the night and swap this one with the Fifth?

Notice the MAX stop shelter in front of the building, I wonder if that means anything for the Orange

Since the City bought back the land, I'd expect them to build roads and utilities then parcel out the land to developers a la The Bridges, Midfield Heights, Riverbend TOD, etc

The first bus with the new Consat CAD/AVL system has hit the road

All LRT stations already have the rapid transit map (MAX+LRT)

The city hired a consultant in the fall to put together a fare strategy and implementation plan. Should be completed by the end of this year, so we'll see what they come up with

So easy that the existing ctrain ticket machines have tap haha All I know wrt credit card is that the bus readers have the hardware to support open loop payment

As darwink said it depends on how many places you're sending data during a tap. For Suica, the response time is 0.2 seconds, which is achieved by storing information on the card itself while the gate handles the processing locally. The gate then sends and receives information with servers at 1...

I can't wait until I can just use the app with auto reload and fare capping. Would never think about it again and just tap. Maybe one improvement would be adding support for NFC from the phone rather than QR only

You see that slow attitude and inertia in all parts of Calgary Transit, they really need a management shakeup and some cash

I've never been able to justify the $1B+ cost for a bespoke system in my head. When we have ABT and card tap I don't see how it would be functionally any different to other card systems. Such a system would take years to implement anyways

As much as people harp on MyFare, the slow rollout MaaS development for a fraction of the cost of a bespoke system like Compass or Presto is perfectly fine to me. Account based ticketing and credit card tap is on the roadmap to be implemented into MyFare as well

Imagine how cool it would be if one day a MyFare card and Edmonton's Arc card were fully interoperable and implemented on regional rail between the cities
