Thank you for making this in-depth video on such a remote town. I love getting a look at smaller towns too, especially from a transportation and urban fabric pov! For its (transit-wise) isolated location and population, this is not that bad, and certainly comparable to some more rural small towns where I‘m from (Germany). Especially in the more sparse northeast of Germany, many rural regions have bus service primarily centred around the needs of school students, with just a few lines acting as actually usable “backbone” services. Many lines in these regions also have very little or no weekend service, though improvements are being made with adding more such “backbone” services that run all week and connect the larger towns. If you wanna have a look into it, search up the “PlusBus” system for the German state of Brandenburg. Certainly has room for improvement, but it’s a start.

Can you try this during the winter time?

Yes it’s not the best compared to Toronto or Vancouver or Europe but it’s a lot better than most US cities. Many US cities don’t even have transit access to the suburbs.

The only alarm bell that's going off for me is how this is still the same company that owns Greyhound. I never enjoyed my trips on the underfunded Greyhounds (look, we've got internet on board, only 5 years after Red Arrow. We can't offer any amenities because this bus has no space for them. It's 45 years old, because we don't run any worthwhile buses on these long routes with relatively few passengers.)

Students get arc equivalent monthly bus passes fun fact

The expense isn't why we have it, same reason we don't have free healthcare. It's about the ✨ defense ✨

Noooo. You need to take the transit during rush hour. Absolute hell on earth. Try the south train going to somerset. Lots of ill / drug people too.

The thing with taxis is also very common in big cities if you rely on small taxi companies

dumb question but which country is this?

miss Nakî Transit Centre & Park and Ride

Great video, learned something new!

As a car enthusiast who cares about urbanism, it should be all about choice. If someone wants to drive a car, that’s their choice, but there should also be options for walkability and public transit. Car free zones are also fine. Trying to demonize people who want to still drive a car will push many away from being onboard with transit. I would love for less people to be on the road in order to make room for people who actually enjoy being on the road. A bunch of gargantuan SUVs creating congestion because people have to drive everywhere makes a lot more damage to the environment than a few people driving Corvettes and Mustangs around. I’m annoyed by infrastructure favoring just cars, but I’m also annoyed by the loudest voices being people who hate cars.

Alhamdulillah 💝 Very nice city 🌆🎉

This is a great video well done!

How would any of those suggestions change the existing stop? The houses are already built, the strip mall exists, the golf course won’t move, ever. It seems too late, in my opinion

U didn't go to Lakewood...yes it is a transit center

Don't bullshit a bullshiter this LRT project will take another 87,000 years because no one wants to work on it. No one is working on it currently.

Wow I found my perfect channel. After starting university this year I’ve come obsessed with StAT and ETS, namely the future Metro Line expansion to Nakî, glad to see there’s somebody just as interested (probably even moreso) than I

Might need to try this, I ride the LRT for fun anyways despite living in St. Albert Perchance I try to ride every StAT route

Cool journey! Are you counting all TCs in Edmonton or just ETS TCs, since technically Naki TC is within Edmonton city limits!

A quick end-of-year update for the Valley Line West can be found in this video by Marigold here! ruclips.net/video/amAS9YIWoR0/видео.html&ab_channel=MarigoldInfrastructurePartners

What are the songs of the music that you used in the video?

While I agree that the West Coast Express could stand to have frequent service both ways (seeing as I use it myself when I go into town), I wish you had touched upon the fact that Translink doesn't own those rails, they just rent them (and pay through the nose to do so). Getting even the 5 trains each way on weekdays was apparently an exercise in pulling teeth negotiating with CP and CN Rail, because, as with most rail lines, they make a lot more money from freight than passenger service, and thus don't want passenger trains taking up space. Also Langley is growing fast enough that your bus service ideas would probably have a lot of ridership, especially if they could work in some bus lanes along 200th Street

6:16 If you want an all day service West Coast Express, you'd have to negotiate with CPKC to make it happen. CPKC owns the tracks the West Coast Express run on, so I understand if CPKC denies this. It's easier said than done to think, "Why don't they build their own tracks?" Well, funds, funds, funds, but expensive. It wouldn't be worth paying an expensive price for such service.

Capstan station actually opened today as this video comes out! And me releasing this video today is totally not intentionally for that!

Capstan station actually opens today. Not sure if that was intentional.

First 🥳

16:29 there's a slight hill, you can see the dip along the grass. Plus I believe it's for the workers to lean. I don't understand why no benches.

interesting video thanks for sharing. I will never forget, in 2012 I lived in Lewis Estates and had to bus to the yellowhead industrial area. It's not even that far but going there would take 1 hour 20 minutes & coming home would take nearly two hours. When I finally got a car it took 20 minutes at most. I assume now the routes are better but damn that was rough working 12 hours + my commute time.

Engineers and scientists will tell you this very simply Matter how good your idea is. If you don't test it, you're wrong and when you do you'll find out why. Test test test

In May last year, the city of Regina added a new bus route to the airport. Route 24 Downtown - Airport. And other problems mentioned in this video have already been solved.

I agree With you as well 3:49

Hopefully they fix that Frickin Screeching the South East has

not a fan of having the train on the ground level due to traffic. however, after giving it some thought looking at the booklet, there are many stations that should've been elevated and there are ones that didn't need to be. i mean if they can install elevators on the original capital line stations, why not to other stations as well they could've started elevating from 121 st up until 88a ave where meadowlark is since it will not slow down the flow of traffic in rush hours. though i can't say if that's true in 156 st side, i don't live in that area. however, at least 2 lanes per direction is enough for cars to be accommodated still, if i were in 118 ave 34 st, this is a plus going to wem. i remember the days taking 8 then taking the train to corona station then catching 100. there are times there's no 100 on downtown, so i have to go to south campus to take 4

Love the video keep up the good work!

RIP green line…😢

Most park and ride lack shared use paths with bike lanes, rail and busway lines. They will be useful with those two modes of public transits. Will encourage them to use public transit.

Agreed, malls in Edmonton tend not to like transit centres which is frustrating for us transit dependent folks and can make it quite treacherous in the winter with the slippery parking lots to traverse to get into the mall.

Man, I love your videos. I moved to Edmonton half a year ago and your videos provided necessary info about public transit. Also, I watch your channel to follow progress on construction of Valley Line West which I’m very exited for. Just wanted to say thank you for your work. Also, I want to wish you more subs because I think you deserve it. It’s a bit tricky to find audience that appreciates public transit in NA but I’m sure there are a lot of us. Keep up the good work.

next up: do all OWL bus routes of Edmonton 👀

You seem like a chill person, I only really ever see Century Park everyday but it's nice to see the rest of the city too sometimes

Noted... *jots down plan to do this with every transit center in Philadelphia*

I mean I could be a bit of loser but that is my goal too

6:04 couldn't agree more! From my experience, the 56 is pretty bad and crowded.

09:31 so, are we not gonna talk about the bra on the floor?🧐

This is an Edmonton train station

They named the current "MacEwan" station that because if they called it the Rogers station, for the arena, they would be required to build it bigger. By calling it MacEwan and then putting it in closer proximity to Rogers than literally anything else, they have a Rogers station for cheaper. This works well until you remember that a smaller station means a smaller capacity, and it discourages people from using transit to get to big events, like concerts, Oilers games, etc. I love transit but I can agree that car use is better in some applications. Car use is NOT good for events such as those held at Rogers. Short-term: rename station to ICE District. Long-term: expand station capacity.

😅 This is the most relatable thing I’ve seen all week! 😂

Uhh no? Calgary was the first, and edmonton STILL HASN'T recovered from the pandemic? What is this bullshit?
