However the next question in those discussions is usually "well how can we pay for it?". It would be very interesting to see the various funding models other cities are using to fund their transit projects and discussing how they might be applied here in Calgary.

Great job Frink! I've been wanting exactly this. Please keep them coming. Also, is anyone aware of a regularly updated publication that keeps track of these major transit projects? If so, I'd sure be interested in reading. The best I've come across are one-off analyses by cities looking to develop their own systems. Please let me know if anyone has suggestions of journals, mags, websites, etc.
Also, I agree with outoftheice, I'd like to see what kinds of funding, grants, taxes, policies, etc other cities have used.
