@calgaryherald Edmonton could have benefited from more elevated transit. Why is Calgary building a streetcar for it though?

[Edmonton Transit Community @TransitYEG]

TransEd should fix the issues its contract didn’t live up to before parting ways, and the city should invest in infrastructure repairs they didn’t include in the building of the line. More coming later...

@SleepyGirlGraps According to Reddit, a poll from Jessie Watson, expressions from Yegventures on CBC Edmonton, and the Mill Woods Community Group, many riders have expressed satisfaction and higher-than-imagined expectations of reliability.

The City will assume responsibility for the Valley Line from TransEd, ending the agreement initially set to run until 2050.

@gisellegeneral How much notice did they provide?

[Edmonton Transit Service (ETS) @takeETSalert]

ATTN LRT riders: Valley Line LRT is unavailable between Bonnie Doon & Mill Woods due to a mechanical issue. Bus replacement service is underway. We are working to restore regular service as soon as possible. Thanks for your patience. #YegTransit

“If it ain’t broke don’t fix it”

Edmontonians currently express satisfaction with the Valley Line, partly due to TransEd’s incentives to operate the line and its guardrails that help safeguard taxpayers during delays.

[Edmonton Transit Community @TransitYEG]

Toronto, Vancouver and Calgary now offer improved transit guidance, a benefit that should reach Edmontonians; given this progress, why was so much spent on a trip planner that barely functions and delivers a poorer experience? @transitapp ought to create a web version of the app.
