So you get off in downtown edmonton or calgary by have to go to the big mall or somewhere out in south calgary. You still need a car, don't you? Now you have to rent one so there goes the money savings and then some. I guess you could take a cab, but that's again costing you unnecessary money.
What benefit is there over taking a westjet?
Someone brought Europe as an example of how these trains help. Well, they do there because they have a transit system to support that. Here you need to transfer 3 times just to go across the city and that would take you hours in a non-rush timeslot. We simply don't have the local transit system to make this train an advantage over driving your own car. We'd need to triple or more the amout of buses and c-trains to even come close to europe's transit.
