Episode Details

Calgary Transit considers extending transfer windows from 90 to 120 minutes, potentially costing $2 million in lost revenue. City officials support the change, aiming to allocate $2 million in the 2027-2030 budget. Data shows 98% of riders complete transfers within 90 minutes, leaving around 500,000 trips that could benefit. Councillors like Andrew Yule and Harrison Clark back the upgrade for improved rider satisfaction, while others, like Andre Chabot, argue against it due to minimal benefits and revenue loss. Transit advocacy groups note Calgarys sprawl may impact trip durations. The councils decision will depend on whether extended windows attract more riders and offset the revenue loss.
