Edmonton Transit | ride from airport to downtown on ETS 747 bus & Capital Line LRT

Welcome to Edmonton! On 23-24 May 2024, I made a visit to Edmonton for an opportunity to give Jack Talks at a school there, mental health talks run by jack.org. On my second part of my video series on travel to Edmonton, here I will show you the travel from Edmonton Airport to downtown using public transit, on the ETS 747 bus from the airport to Century Park Station, then from there to downtown at Churchill Station on the Capital Line LRT.
The full journey as well as the process of buying transit tickets are featured here, as for a first timer to Edmonton it can be challenging to find where to buy tickets as well as finding the correct bus stops and rail stations. This was my first time to Edmonton in 11 years, my previous visit being done entirely on rented vans and so I didn't have the opportunity to use public transit then, and also the ARC Card didn't exist back then. The ARC Card is valid on all public transit in the greater Edmonton area, simply tap on and off and the system will calculate its fare.
Hope this video will help anyone who is traveling to Edmonton by plane!

Agree, there is no good signage for train transfers here. I also wish Edmonton had announcements saying which side the doors open on since I've seen many people get confused over that especially with the new tram in service.
