Consider getting an Arc card instead of a December ETS transit pass. There’s no need to pay for a pass upfront and Arc cards can be loaded anywhere and anytime. With Arc fare caps, you never pay more than a daily or monthly pass. Switch to Arc today at https://t.co/DYlSmamrq2.

@big_fan2019 The system is going to launch in phases, which will allow @takeETSalert to work with special customer groups to provide the education, care and attention needed to get everyone on the Arc system. @takeETSalerts will have more information on this as it becomes available.

"As people’s behavior change, so must transit. And transit is changing.

Transit is becoming more flexible. Transit is becoming more green. And transit is becoming more integrated."

Jim McDonald, chair of @canadiantransit, at the opening of #CUTAACTU2022.

[Edmonton Metropolitan Transit Services Commission @EMTSCommission]

@TransitYEG @FlyYEG @edmontondtwn Thanks! Riders are focused on their destinations not on municipal boundaries, that's why we'll keep working with all local transit providers to help make getting around the Region easier. Here's a link to our conversation with Strathcona County in June. https://t.co/VcC1LkAw0K

[Edmonton Metropolitan Transit Services Commission @EMTSCommission]

The final version of the 2023 Operating Budget will be presented for approval at an EMTSC Board Meeting on November 17, 2022.

[Edmonton Metropolitan Transit Services Commission @EMTSCommission]

Chair Brodhead on the cost of the Commission to-date: “The realization of a 20-year vision of an integrated regional transit organization is only possible through a lot of work, extreme dedication, and, of course, money.”
