Edmonton Transit Riders

Working towards a safer, more accessible, and better region-wide public transit system through advocacy and community building 🚌🚊

We have decided that Twitter is no longer an effective site for community building and advocacy

We still want to keep in touch with all of you, so we have included links to our other social media below

Last week we were quoted in the Edmonton Journal article on the upcoming fare increases, highlighting:

-The impacts of fare increases
-The need for price predictability
-Edmonton maintaining fares lower than other large Canadian cities

@TransitYEG The funding started with Edmonton and Calgary in 2017, but the funding and municipalities involved have both expanded multiple times, most recently in 2023

[Edmonton Transit Riders @ETRiders]

Everything you need to know about Alberta's Low Income Transit Passes, and how you can help make sure funding is maintained in the upcoming budget.

@big_fan2019 The deal is going to allow all service providers access to the LRT tunnels! So everyone will have the ability to access our quality content

[Edmonton Transit Riders @ETRiders]

It looks like it could be finally happening!

On Wednesday Exec Committee will look to accept a deal with Telus to fill cell service gaps in our LRT tunnels

We encourage council to approve this deal, and massively increase rider quality of life

This is a great opportunity to continue the modernization of our LRT system, and the best part is: it doesn't require any extra funding!

We are hopeful that next year you will be able to look at our amazing posts while zooming through our LRT tunnels

[Edmonton Transit Riders @ETRiders]

This has been a longstanding complaint we've heard about from riders, and has major implications for safety, perceptions of safety, and comfort on our system

If you want to read more about the proposal with Telus you can read about it here: https://t.co/awdTTi4RzU

About that empty bus lane...

@TheStillness9 Hi Jen, would you be able to DM us a screenshot of what you are seeing so we can try and fix it please?

[Edmonton Transit Riders @ETRiders]

We recently met with Opposition MLAs and the Ministry of Seniors, Community and Social Services about funding low-income transit in this year's budget

Help maintain funding for low-income transit passes in Alberta by visiting: https://t.co/nJbdkXDCNc

We also sat down with @LorneDach, @SharifHaji, and @ndpkyle from the Official Opposition to talk low-income transit, and discuss what support for public transit looks like between municipal boundaries.

[Edmonton Transit Riders @ETRiders]

Us and Calgary Transit Riders recently met with the Ministry of Seniors, Community, and Social Services to convey the importance of maintaining funding for these passes, and what low-income transit looks like for a future provincially run public transit system

The Edmonton Journal just ran our op-ed on Alberta's low income transit passes, and why the provincial government should help low income Albertans participate in our economy and community
