The train that goes from the Vancouver Airport to downtown is one of the most efficient trains I've ever had the pleasure of riding on. It has huge ridership, and it is expanding since the 2010 Olympics.
Not sure why Calgary has to wait for other cities to do it first. Having a train from the airport to the downtown core is HUGE. It will be absolutely essential to have in the future, if it isn't already. We have many business travelers coming here and tourism is growing. It makes complete sense.
