Opinion: Government needs to put the airport-Banff train in gear

by · Calgary Herald

This year was very impactful for the Calgary Airport – Banff Rail (CABR) Project. Progress was made toward the adoption of CABR as a solution for express rail service between the Calgary airport to downtown, with scheduled service to Banff.

The Calgary Airport Rail Connection Study, now underway, will hopefully contribute to the final design phase before construction can commence and, in a measured way, fulfil an election promise of the UCP government.
