Too bad Crossiron Mills isn't connecting with Airdrie ICE. I'd be willing to pay $5 for ICE fare to shop there, and then it'd reduce congestion on Deerfoot Trail. Also:
62 people (D60LFR seating capacity if I remember correctly) x $5 = $310/dropoff of Calgary shoppers (gross, NO IDEA what net income would be). Times that by an 30-45 min frequency for 6 hours (assuming people shop mostly between 3 and 9 pm), would range in between $3,720 (30 min frequency), to $2,480 (45 minutes), to $1,860 (60 minutes). As I've never been on an ICE bus, I'd have to ask you guys if you know if theres Airdrie transfers. If not, then those same people would be paying for a return trip, therefore doubling the amount ($7,440/$4,960/$3,720). Also, the transfer would pretty much barely last a two-way trip assuming its an 60 minute transfer (along with that shoppers bussed to Crossiron to shop!)
Hopefully, my math isn't too bad haha
