Shake off the city? For a project that prides itself on being urban in the suburbs, this is a strange and anti-urban thing to say.

Why didn't they just call it Airdry or Dryair

I don't think it's easier or better, but an app allows you to track your spending better, especially if you're just buying tickets or day passes. Best to have both options available for people

Cards are already obsolete. The way to go is a phone app. It's becoming the latest standard like on BC Transit with the UMO app.

Almost certainly. The population clock for Alberta got updated to 4,981,477 https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/pub/71-607-x/71-607-x2018005-eng.htm

Something else that Alberta still on pace for 100,000 growth this year

The street presence of the parkade side is awful

It's also the first year in decades that Alberta had more new permanent residents than BC (66,350 to 63,105).

Yes, we're probably at 1.8 million today and if you count the greater CMA, it's very close to 2 million

Calgary CMA grew by a little over 100,000 between 2023 and 2024 to a population of 1,778,881 (from 1,678,702) https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/t1/tbl1/en/tv.action?pid=1710014801 https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/daily-quotidien/250116/dq250116b-eng.htm?HPA=1
