“A modern Alberta plan should be much more ambitious than just catching up with the already outdated Canadian present.” That’s why we’re taking a province-wide approach, looking at the system as a whole, to build the best passenger rail network possible for Albertans.

The day after the GO's Lakeshore East and West Lines inaugurated 15 min weekend service, GO's Kitchener Line has now officially started its 30-min weekday service between Bramalea and Union for the first time. Yet another @GOtransit win!

Today GO Transit has began the biggest increase in service since 2013, introducing trains every 15 minutes on 2 lines on weekends, and additional increases on weekdays. These screenshots were taken exactly 24 hours apart at 8:21pm, the increase n in service is very noticeable.
Alberta, which is Canada’s 4th largest province and on track to be the 3rd largest, lacks meaningful intercity rail. The Province currently has two intercity rail projects that have been contemplated: - Calgary Airport, Calgary, Banff - Calgary, Red Deer, Edmonton

At Mimico GO, I just missed my train. Thankfully, today’s brand new 15-minute weekend service on the Lakeshore West Line means that you don’t really need to check a schedule - you just show up and ride! Great job @GOtransit!

“the leafs lack scoring” players the leafs gave away for nothing:
No bike lanes on Bathurst street and it's still bumper to bumper traffic. Bicycles and bike lanes don't cause traffic, personal vehicles *are* the traffic. #BikeTO

Fun fact: one of the nimby neighbours who spoke at the Committee of Adjustments in opposition to this infill development proposal at 91 Barton St. is Burkhard Mausberg, the former CEO of the Friends of the Greenbelt Foundation and Greenbelt Fund. Think about that.
Amazing news to end the week.

@sdrx902 Well the European ones usually have frequent service and signal priority meanwhile the North American ones live in hell
“A modern Alberta plan should be much more ambitious than just catching up with the already outdated Canadian present.” That’s why we’re taking a province-wide approach, looking at the system as a whole, to build the best passenger rail network possible for Albertans.

@AlexanderGlista you hit the nail on the ... oops ... spike on the tie. Alberta needs to get on track and offer frequent, reliable and affordable inter-city travel options. We invite you to review the passenger rail studies for Alberta and Montana that we released on April 19th…
If your North American city’s central station departure board doesn’t look like this on a weekend, your regional transit agency has to step up its game to Toronto’s level. Toronto’s Union Station, our main regional and intercity hub, on a Sunday evening ⬇️
Alstom welcomes the immense step forward in the development of passenger rail transportation announced by the Government of Alberta today.
Pleased to announce with Premier @ABDanielleSmith a province-wide rail plan to make Alberta the best place to live, work, and raise a family for generations to come.
Its really dissapointing that Alberta is talking about province wide rail and BC isn't doing something similarly ambitious (even a great bus network!)
Canadas famously conservative province is talking about major rail investments because of the cost of highway expansion. Amazing
Let's hope Edmonton is back in the @CPLsoccer by the time trains start running between #YYC and #YEG!
Premier outlines a Passenger Rail Master Plan to coordinate and move forward passenger rail in the province
I think its underrated how powerful Brightline becoming good at slapping down a 125mph, or 186mph rail right of way along a highway could be for the US and Canada. Combine that with new regional rail in cities and you could have a half decent HSR system!
I really do think Brightline FL is a great model for Calgary Edmonton HSR. You don't need 320kph / 200mph, just getting up to 200/125 would be super competitive, and even having a small handful of level crossings is fine. Would blow the bus out of the water and be well used!
Hey y'all trains are pretty cool but trains you can ride around Alberta are even cooler.
These folks have been advocating a long time, this is a huge win.
