Nice catch! Excellent shots.

Some fairly up-to-date ridership info (and a couple other interesting stats!) in a slide from today's SPC on Transportation and Transit meeting: https://pub-calgary.escribemeetings.com/FileStream.ashx?DocumentId=167536 (page 5)

For anyone interested, service data for Stampede (and beyond) is now available in block explorer.

I like the giant new LED panels at 1st Street Station...

Yep, you got it!

I didn't realize, but CT have actually been supplying some basic route information for these buses, so Transit55 now displays that, and you can see a list of other "added" trips here: https://transit55.ca/calgary/addedtrips Peak period trips only, I believe, so there's nothing showing on the site tonight and probably won't be until tomorrow morning - but the functionality should be ready to go.

I checked the CT website again, and it looks like their tools have the updated schedules now. I didn't take a close look but I see additional peak hour trips showing for routes like the 2 and 3.

Free transit for those getting their shot at the TELUS Convention Centre!
