In Calgary we have one of the most white collar transit rider profiles surely across North America. It's not the US where transit is stigmatized as is "for poor people". Lots of affluent white collar people use transit here.

Mostly due to the terrible city driving infrastructure and terribly expensive parking downtown. If those isseues were solved I would bet most people drive.
That rant was pretty great in my opinion haha. Don't care about the project though. Only go south on 14th maybe twice a year.
