‘Whatever it takes’: Smith pledges 100 new police officers for Edmonton, Calgary
Premier Danielle Smith will be in Calgary on Tuesday to make an announcement addressing violent crime and transit safety.
If people don't feel safe using the LRT, then the system becomes a failure. A system held hostage by a few hundred people.It's long overdue, but as is often the case, things have to hit a point before action is done. I haven't looked into any crime statistics for Calgary recently, but it seems like there is a stabbing or something else around the LRT on a daily basis now.
Good to hear, I assume they're expanding safe injection sites, funding more housing and working on treating the addiction crisis. A little more enforcement is okay, but it won't solve the problem, just push it around.![]()

This is actually very smart promotion and a great deal. Solves the family weekend trip problem (the cost part at least) and even makes many trips now feasible even as a couple adults out on the town.![]()
Calgary Transit introduces new weekend group day pass
Beginning this weekend, Calgary Transit will be offering a new weekend group day pass for customers.This new pass is targeted to groups and families traveling together, who don’t use transit regularly, but could benefit from discounted transit fares to attend events and activities on weekends...newsroom.calgary.ca
I was so surprised that it's really only $15, the value is pretty crazy compared to what you'd be paying otherwise.This is actually very smart promotion and a great deal. Solves the family weekend trip problem (the cost part at least) and even makes many trips now feasible even as a couple adults out on the town.
Considering competition for group travel is car ownership, ubers or taxis - all of which are far more expensive to complete the same weekend trips - having a simple and easy to use pass available via the app is a really smart idea.
I hope they find ways to promote it better than just the Calgary city news alert - branding and marketing needed.
All the doors which were there previously are still there as far as I can tell.The change seems great! But didn't they recently remove the doors off of a transit shelter for safety? Seems odd to also be widening the shelter and creating more space.
I think that was at Chinook, I guess different stations have different issuesAll the doors which were there previously are still there as far as I can tell.
