How did 40 years go so fast? A tiny bit of history here, eh @harry_historian and @CTVDarrelJanz? Happy birthday C-Train!
@mykeatkinson I too have thought about this. Would be an interesting time to experiment with free transit.
The tiniest of baby steps. But baby steps.

You heard that right, folks: We're bringing in free transit for kids 12 years old and under, province-wide. 🚎 #bcpoli #bcbudget2021
The cost of this interchange project is the same as providing fare free transit for all Calgarians at full pre-pandemic service levels for an entire year.
Starting today, Calgarians who use @calgarytransit to travel to our Centre for vaccination will receive two transit tickets as they exit the building: one to cover the ticket purchased to travel to @CTCC_Calgary, and one to return home. @cityofcalgary @AHS_media @downtowncalgary

2 classes of people in Calgary. One gets the carrot, the other gets the stick.
“They have to keep operating in order to get essential workers where they need to go. Even cutting back service poses public health risks, as the best way to maintain social distancing is to run more trains and buses.” Transit is an essential service. vice.com/en_us/article/…
Interesting development in Hamilton: free public transit, to protect drivers.

When cities make transit free, ridership goes up. Not long-term. Immediately. Not up by 2-3%. It jumps up between 20%-60%. An obvious conclusion: public transit is a public good, and treating it as a service means starving access from people who need it. nytimes.com/2020/01/14/us/…
Over the last year the Hub has held 6 interesting, engaging & impactful Community Climate Conversations across Calgary. We're *very* excited four our next one at the Renfrew Community Hall on Thursday January 23, 630 - 9pm! Join us! RSVP: #yyc #abclimate calgaryclimatehub.ca/ccc7_renfrew
NEW STORY. Free-fare transit isn't a new idea in Calgary. We've had it since the early 1980s. But is it time to expand it? @Hadeel_WithIt looked into the possibility. sprawlcalgary.com/should-calgary… #CoveringClimateNow #yyccc #elxn43
Street space in cities is limited. Here's what we can do with it.
Another example of the disparities between how #yyccc values and treats its various transportation. Are we planning to also sell naming rights to roads? Are Crowchild, Glenmore, Beddington, Blackfoot, Macleod all for sale too? (Also a bad idea.) We need to value transit.

Proportionally speaking TTC fares are increasing tomorrow by a greater margin than gas prices are set to increase (due to the federal carbon tax), yet I fail to see politicians posting social media photos worried about their transit fares! #onpoli #topoli globalnews.ca/news/5115904/t…
