Fair Fares wishes to congratulate Calgary Transit for its A+ grade as one of the best transit systems in Canada.
Congrats Calgary Transit (link to the article)
Since the introduction of the sliding scale enabling Calgarians living in extreme poverty, we are pleased to see transit experts rating our City as one of the best and we agree!
The article talks about how Calgary improved in areas of "Operating Cost Per Service Hour and Passenger Trip Intensity" both improving from a B to A grade, as well as "Calgary is currently the region with the lowest operating cost per service hour at $152.89, in contrast to Metro Vancouver topping the list at $186.29, followed by Greater Toronto and Hamilton and Greater Montreal’s operating cost service hours of $178.61 and $180.2, respectively."
Lets hope the sliding scale model will be a trend for more Cities in Canada who make it a priority to ensure Citizens can afford to ride!
Way to go!
