Part 1: • Riding all Calgary's R...
This is part 2 of my exploration of Calgary Transit's Rapid Transit system. In this video, I will be riding the 300s bus lines, which are considered "Bus Rapid Transit", and give my analysis of them. I will also ride to some LRT Stations in the suburbs to see what are their differences from the ones in downtown Calgary. I did not mention much about the frequency of the 300 buses, but out of the three, route 301 wins my frequency competition, as it runs every 5-10 minutes!
Calgary is located on Treaty 7 Territory, the Homeland of the Ktunaxa ɁamakɁis, Ĩyãħé Nakón mąkóce (Stoney), Niitsítpiis-stahkoii ᖹᐟᒧᐧᐨᑯᐧ ᓴᐦᖾᐟ (Blackfoot / Niitsítapi ᖹᐟᒧᐧᒣᑯ), Tsuut’ina, Michif Piyii (Métis) and Îyâxe Nakoda Nations.
