Why don't you run a cost comparison of how much it costs - both in time and money - to get from various points of Calgary to downtown via car, bus, bike, c-train? Cycling within downtown might be cheaper and more space efficient. But the majority are a significant distance away from the core, and like it or not, infrastructure to bring the majority in will always have to take priority.

How is it elitist? It showed a train being far and away the most space efficient. It is quite a bit more expensive per commuter compared to cycling though, usually stated about 4x the cost for LRT vs cyclist for an equal distance.
