As it is, Centre Street N is already the busiest bus corridor left in Calgary, where the two main routes on it (3 and 301) accounted for nearly half of all incidents of overcrowding and overloading for 2012-2014. During a good economy, bus service is nearly maxed out. |
Thanks for this. So if you can't build it all the way into the Northern Hills communities (Country Hills, Panorama, etc), I agree that a hub at 64 Ave makes more sense (in terms of taking cars off the road and utilizing feeder buses to funnel people onto the train). Meanwhile, there seems to be little upside in terminating at 16 Ave -- it seems unlikely that people living in the North would ever use the LRT to get into downtown. (i.e. no park and ride, and if you're already on the bus you're going to stay on until you reach downtown). That was fine when it was all going to be underground up to that point, but is going to cause a bunch of new problems with the new alignment.
