Currently I could walk 5 minutes to the stop on Crowchild, hop on the bus, into downtown onto 9th avenue. Perfect and super fast. Same for people near bow trail.

After this, you would need to wait for and take a feeder bus to the station, walk to the platform, wait for the train, get on it and then downtown. I could eaasily see that doubling the time. I just won't be doing it. Not a chance.

But you don't design the system for every little person's situation, is annoying that the people closer to the core are now inconvenienced for those further away, but majority rules though.

I have parking now so I don't care anymore.

Also the folks in Lakeview who had an express bus that I believ is getting nixed in favour of a feeder to the station. The after LRT would absoultely be much crappier than before.
I'm looking at the map.

Does the 18, 20. 62 or 112 solve that? There's like 4 coloured lines on Crowchild at Killarney.Which bus did you hop on crowchild? I'm just trying to do some comparisions on how people get around.

26th station will be called Shaganappi Point
