As for me, I went to the Calgary Transit website and requested to see the schedule for Red Line (Route 201) on March 18 or later. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CTrainDude Posted March 1 Report Share Posted March 1 That's all because Haysboro is closing for construction - no trains can be stored there, which means Red Line trains need to come from elsewhere (and go back there). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downbeat Posted March 2 Report Share Posted March 2 Thanks for that! And I now also notice on weekdays, there will be three more departures from Tuscany before the current start time, leaving at 3:44, 4:13 and 4:18 a.m. (First two trips are currently at 4:30 and 5 a.m.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTrainDude Posted March 2 Report Share Posted March 2 You would also likely notice more trips starting from Somerset northbound without the corresponding southbound trips starting at Southland, as trains come off the tail track there instead of from Haysboro. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if it’s 30 min per train it’s still good Just thinking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downbeat Posted March 2 Report Share Posted March 2 I don't think that's a good idea … the downtime window on the LRT is already so very short for daily/routine/emergency maintenance. A skeletal night bus network might a better way to start, assuming planners can figure out where something like that could be useful. -- On a completely different matter: the redesigned Calgary Transit website is much improved in at least one way. When looking up schedules, they got rid of the dropdown menus when choosing bus routes and replaces it with a search box instead, meaning you don't have to scroll through the entire bus network to see LRT and BRT schedules. Especially helpful on mobile! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, we should implement overnight buses Should start somewhere like Centre St? N3 Anderson - North Pointe maybe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PartiallySD Posted March 4 Report Share Posted March 4 I don’t think it’s beneficial for wayfinding to have a bunch of different night routes when, for the most part. Our mainliner PTN routes do a decent job of coverage, sans the missing link on the train lines. Including overnight LRT shuttles if we had something similar to the Christmas services from 2022 and prior with routes like the 1, 3, 8, 14, 23, 100, 300, circle routes, and MAX running, and maybe some extra service in the far suburbs to ensure everywhere is ~20 mins walking distance at max it should be fine. ie: for the NW I would also run the 115 or 129 overnight just to ensure people in Symons Valley don’t get stranded (speaking from experience…) perhaps routes like the 153, 93, and 128/145 would be also beneficial to run. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aroy40 Posted March 4 Report Share Posted March 4 I'm sure there is a reason for it but the 301 going to 10 minutes between 3:30-4 and then sending a single bus for that first 10 minute interval seems baffling. Don't think it was a weather thing either when it happened and people were left behind by the 5th and 1st stop so some people were potentially waiting 20+ minutes for a bus.

It's baffling that at some point in time, someone determined that the current design was a good (and safe) idea. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

agott Posted March 5 Report Share Posted March 5 Just wondering, is CT planning on getting any new artics in next couple years? I think our current fleet looks fine for the oldest buses being 17, and the newest of them being nearly 10, but it’d be nice to see like a new XD60 or XDE60 or XN60 and so on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

downbeat Posted March 13 Report Share Posted March 13 Just noticed an additional minor service improvement for Route 33 on weekdays when the new schedules kick in next week. The route will run its full length for approx. one more hour around dinner time before it's cut back to Vista Heights Terminal. Related: Routes 27 and 33 don't start interlining until around 8 pm 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
