And as alluded to, YYC's traffic is mostly business people, or car drivers. The majority of tourists that actually come here, come on big charters.
Europe is a whole different ballgame in terms of transit culture and amount and type of tourists.
There is a bus which goes to the airport once in a blue moon from the end of the NE line but it's so infrequent it's not worth the hassle. But there is already transit out to the airport. I would take the train exclusively for all travel I do and I bet a number of citizens would too. We need to get away from the "that'll only work in Europe" mentality. It would work here, and would get used if it were setup. I'd much rather spend even a $10 premium over top of cabbing it.
