      <title>URBAN TRANSIT IN CANADA: INTEGRATION AND INNOVATION AT ITS BEST</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/726794</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Most U.S. transit planners are familiar with both Toronto's and Montreal's highly successful subway systems as well as with the pioneering efforts of Edmonton and Calgary to build light rail transit systems.  This article highlights recent Canadian advances in the urban transit field.  Canada is considered transit industry leader because its bountiful bus, streetcar, and subway systems are extremely well integrated and efficiently run.  Its cities are also far ahead of their American counterparts in linking transit with urban growth.]]></description>

      <title>LIGHT RAIL TRANSIT AND BUS INTEGRATION IN EDMONTON (ABRIDGMENT)</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/147474</link>
      <description><![CDATA[This paper discusses the appropriateness of light rail transit (LRT) and bus integration as a public transportation option in Edmonton.  Three transportation options were considered: a northeast freeway option that would require 70 buses during peak periods; including express services for the corridor; an all-bus option that would require use of 150 buses during peak periods, including express services through the central area of the city; and an integrated bus-LRT option that would require 75 buses during peak periods to serve mainly as feeders and cross-city services, together with 14 LRT cars on the northeast line.  An integrated option means that the LRT line is part of the transit network but uses a different technology.  It was concluded that the LRT-bus system has proved able to handle the existing transit patronage and has attracted additional riders, notwithstanding the introduction of transfers.  The conversion from express buses to feeder buses-LRT has been accepted as an attractive alternative.  The integrated system has also shown its worth during special events at the Coliseum, Exhibition grounds, and Stadium; however, a system capable of carrying 5,400 people an hour in one direction cannot be expected to fill a stadium of 46,000 people.  The disadvantage of the LRT system is that it does not serve two major trip destinations--the government center and the university--without a second transfer.  A fully valid solution probably requires a more complete system.]]></description>
