Officially opened in 1981, the CTrain would forever transform the transportation network in Calgary. Serving nearly 250,000 Calgarians each weekday, the CTrain is the backbone of Calgary Transit’s system. Let’s look back at how the Light Rail Vehicles (LRVs) have changed throughout the years, and how the future arrival of the new Green Line LRV from CAF will mark an exciting new era for light rail transit in Calgary.

1:22 These CAF trains have WAY less seating than the current LRT cars which will suck if those seats have to be given to pregnant, elderly, or disabled individuals first. Also, it looks way more cramped in there than the other LRT cars we have in service.

So many mixed emotions going on here. So happy that Calgary in always full of innovation and firsts. But the green line is not compatible with the current LRT and so that sucks. And the line is using an underground network that several engineers say because of the water table in Calgary is going to cost more than 1000x that the current project budget to maintain. We need a connection to the airport first for us to be a world class city. We may need the green line but how the project is going forward it is not sustainable for Calgary.

Calgary's transit system is lazily thought of. Innovation in Metro Vancouver's SkyTrain network (Millennium, Expo and Canada) far surpasses Calgary.

@@CtO-nj9uuI have mixed emotions about your comment. Yes it was not 100% well thought out of but YVRs is not all that and a bag of chips either. Vancouver's I believed was one of the best in the country when I was young as I remember taking it from Surrey Place to downtown with no issues but it took out a lot of money and homes of lower income families to build and caused more issues with the people who now almost live on the train system now. I seen a woman mix a 2L of coke with a bottle of vodka in the middle of the sky train, then offered it to my 11 year old cousin to take a couple of drinks. (In 2003) from an engineering view it took almost 20 years to finish the Canada line. No city gets it right 100% but the BART has made their system look good from an engineering perspective but sadly the safety has completely collapsed in the last 15 years.
