Have you ever traveled? This strikes me as an idea some city dweller who travels to other big cities would think is the way people travel. It is not. You save up, you spend money on one big trip, and you do it in a way that maximizes your time in the place you want to be. That's Banff, not Calgary.

I’m not saying the financial numbers work out to make this viable or not as I haven’t looked very closely at any of that, but you seem to be of the opinion that no one would have any reason to use this service. If they could make it where using the same infrastructure we would have a line from the airport to Banff with a stop downtown and extra trains dedicated for more frequent airport to downtown runs it could really help hotels and conference centres downtown attract more business.
