My first reaction was "tough!"

But I can kinda see their point. Would a rush hour bus lane 0600-1000 and 1500-1800 be possible through here? Or is the traffic that bad during the day?
 
I saw something on Global News about the businesses affected on 101 Street. I think bus access could give more access opportunities.

I think a cool idea could be an app that could access local businesses in close proximity to the LRT or bus routes.
 
ETS Fall Service Changes

A few other things ETS didn't mention...

- Merged route 114 includes 30 min Sunday early evening service for the Northgate-Clareview portion that route 123 had (Northgate-Coliseum).
- 914 runs every 20 mins in off-peak direction during peak hours. (used to be 15 mins in both directions) + shifted Saturday early evening schedule pattern from WEM TC
- Route 516 reduced to every 20 mins weekday midday.
 
Little column A, little column B. I think the biggest factor that suggests ETS has been "successful" lately is that we are moving more people with essentially no increase in resources. If anything, because of the age of our fleet and the unfortunate circumstances surrounding Proterra, we're actually moving more people with LESS resources than pre-BNR. The next Council will have to pay the piper regarding fleet constraints and I have no doubt it will be ugly.
 
Do you mean on just on the LRT?

The June figures show an average daily ridership across the system of >180,000 (that's dividing the monthly total by 30 days). I would guess that puts the weekday ridership well over 200,000 riders system-wide.

Last September, there were > 6 million trips, leading to a daily ridership of >194,000.
 
I’m thinking Leduc would be smart having a route from West Leduc to 65 Avenue, along the West Perimeter Road to POC and the Airport and. Edmonton. A second route could run along Sparrow Drive to Nisku.

Just the LRT! I want us to surpass San Diego lol, plus the more ridership, the busier and safer it feels.

San Diego's network is about 3x larger than ours. The better metric to use for comparison is boardings per mile of track.

The LRT has been averaging 3,900 avg. daily boardings/mile (APTA Ridership Reports 2023-2024). So that means we have stronger avg. daily boardings/mile performance than most North American systems of similar standards, including Ottawa (~3,000), Seattle (~2,000), Minneapolis (~2,000), Houston (~1,900), San Diego (~1,800), Los Angeles (~1,500; light rail only), Portland (~1,300), Salt Lake City (~1,000), and Dallas (~700).
