If I am planning to go to Banff with the family, after I have gotten there early to park, board the train, wait for all the others to board, half hour ride? and then get off the train at some station out by the outskirts of town. Then what, shuttle in to downtown Banff or 15 minute walk? At that point, imma say eff it and just drive. I get that it opens up Banff to others who can't or wouldn't otherwise go but I just can't see massive uptake on that project. What they should do is have a giant parking lot outside the townsite and do a Heritage Park style train that goes around the town stopping every 15minutes. That would be boss.

They have a giant parking lot just past the fenland marsh entrance with Buses to Johnson Canyon, Lake Louise, and the townsite. It’s much better than it’s used to be but they need to make transit free and charge for parking at attractions if they want to make it work.
It should be $40 per car at Lake Louise, Moraine Lake, or JC. $100 a car at moraine lake during larch season. Use that money to subsidize better, more frequent, and free mass transit.
