For people who want more access the answer is less cars and more shuttles. Mass parking lots in banff townsite and Canmore with really good bus service inside the park.

The problem isn’t as simple as Zion or Yosemite where the 20k long Canyon of Zion was relatively easy to make vehicle free or Yosemite where El Cap to the falls trailhead is only about 5 miles but these places increased visitor ship with shuttles. I think Zion has 4 times the visitors from when it introduced shuttles in 1990.

We don’t need trains from Calgary to Banff or Gondolas or large capita investments. Simply buses, frequent enough that you don’t need to wait in line and frequent enough that you don’t care about schedule. Spend the investment where getting rid of cars as the most impact right inside the park.

Once you have shown that car less banff works then you can look at the get people to banff problem but busses can easily handle current Car less demand.

Also if people want Mountain towns we should develop Castle Mountain area that is already heavily impacted. The goal should be to provide alternatives to the Bow Valley Corridor.
