Can Edmonton's Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) plan work? Funding for at least two routes which will have dedicated bus lanes from start to finish will be discussed in four-year budget deliberations.

Can Edmonton's Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) plan work? #yeg #yegcc #yegtransit

edmontonjournal.com/news/local-n...

bus lanes are going to budget! transit priority measures = approved, bus rapid transit = approved, whyte ave redesign = approved, 101 street bus lane = watered down

Today, along with many other transit riders, we spoke to Urban Planning Committee to show our support for making buses faster and more reliable.

We are of course massive CityNerd fans here at Edmonton Transit Riders, so wanted to share a clip in one of his most recent videos ranking North American Cities on per capita transit ridership!

Edmonton ranks number 8!

Frequency is freedom, but it's not free, says ETS head The manager of the Edmonton Transit Service says she wants a frequent and reliable system — one where a rider can show up at their stop and know that a bus or train is just minutes away.

"Frequency is freedom"
When it comes to transit, 100% agree! I'd buy that shirt.
I live in an area with what I'd say has the perfect frequency and variety of routes. Every Edmontonian deserves this and I hope it gets funded properly. #yegCC #yegTransit

In fairness, calling #YEGTransit one of the most dangerous transit system in Canada is a bit like saying you've found the tallest dachsund.

December parking ban cost Edmonton drivers more than $61,000 in fines Hundreds of tickets were issued and dozens of vehicles towed during the city's first two winter parking bans

Full statement/explanation about recent Valley Line operations from ETS Acting Branch Manager, Trevor Dennehy 🚊 #yeg #yegtransit

I have no experience with TO’s system. 🤷‍♀️ Here, the current Valley Line info hasn’t been updated since Dec 27, the replacement bus info is hard to figure out, and there is no replacement bus stop for the Quarters. #yegtransit can surely do better.

The lack of a replacement bus stop at The Quarters Valley Line LRT when the train is not running, is dangerous. Why make people walk all the way to west of Churchill Square? #yegcc #yegtransit @andrewknack.bsky.social 1/2

#yegTransit review: taking the bus to downtown this Christmas Eve is ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

So glad that this option is very doable so my husband didn't have to drive tonight.

Pedestrian involved collision involving the LRT reported near 83ST & 78AVE. No current update on any injuries. #yeg #yegtransit

Edmonton's budget for next year just got a little more transit friendly

While not everything we wanted got voted in, Edmonton's transit system is setup to better meet growth pressures, modernize its equipment and operations, and maintain a comfortable and clean environment

There are a few programs proposed for funding that we are supporting.

We want to see Council:

The underground level of Clareview LRT station. Ticket validation and ARC scanners are on poles on the side of the partway.

Was waiting for my next #yegTransit connection for 15 minutes. No one tapped off their ARC card after leaving the LRT. Only 7 of 30 tapped on coming in. The scanner location makes it so easy to ignore. Would having fare gates fix this, to help with both getting revenue and proper ridership stats?

Thank you to everyone who came out to the Student Transit Town Hall on Thursday!

It is always inspiring to hear from students and decision makers passionate about improving well being and safety on our public transit system.

Today we setup in the Students Union Building to talk about BRT!

We heard a lot of excitement about the project, and a lot of wishes for faster and more reliable transit on Whyte Avenue.

2026 will be the first (hopefully not last) year that the Canada Public Transit Fund Baseline stream will be in place. Edmonton could unlock up to $16.4 million in additional funding for transit projects through this stream, IF council commits to invest.

A man about to board an Edmonton Transit bus. Earlier he asked for money to top up his ARC card so he can continue taking the bus.

#yegTransit story today: A beggar by my bus stop made a specific request- $ for his ARC card so he can travel without bus drivers denying him or getting ticketed by police.
At the machine by South Campus LRT, I did.
He's so happy that he could travel til his next AISH payment.

Another great experience all day taking #yegTransit!
My rush hour buses/ trains to and from work are on time, are all clean, with working audio announcements & ARC card scanners! There wasn't even delaus due to construction! 😀
