BUS TRANSIT INTERFACE WITH LIGHT RAIL TRANSIT IN WESTERN CANADA
New light rail service usually calls for routing feeder buses at the outer rail stations. This implies early service planning for revisions to an existing bus network--Part I analyzes bus or trolley revisions in conditions. It briefly reviews bus reroutings in conditions. Itr briefly reviews bus rerouthings in South Calgary and how they differ from Edmonton. A new light rail line also warrants physical planning at rail stations chosen for modal interface. Levels of feeder service partly determine scale and layout of the stations' fixed facilities. Part II mostly describes elements integrated with rail station platforms in South Calgary. It also presents new station area plans at the end of Northeast Edmonton line. Part (III) compares park'n ride lot options preferred by Edmonton and Calgary, or so far stiudied in Vancouver. It analyzes access mode split for Edmonton and Calgary outer stations.
