Given the cost difference, I think they should go with a bus service, until it becomes busy enough to justify train service. I'm OK with a bit of subsidy, because a bus can take 20 cars off the road(or more) which reduces need for road service and delays needs for more lanes. The Town of Banff, Parks and the province should pay the subsidy, as they would all benefit through reduced costs elsewhere. Probably the Town of Banff the most, as excess vehicles are a major problem and cost for them.
