Not sure why the Blue Line doesn't extend into Stonebridge. Budget constraints, perhaps?
At any rate, there are 19 BRT Stations running east-west on the Red Line, as well as another 5 BRT Stations extending into Saskatoon's northeast on the Red Line. |
If the map is reflective of where they are planning for bus stops I already see a major failure. There are hundreds of employees at Innovation Place and no stop. Are they expected to walk from 108th Street or from Preston Crossing?
I was trying to research what are factors that encourage people to take transit. Some research indicates that a primary driver is Cost differential between transit and driving. Does this seem accurate?
I have friends who moved to Calgary who never took the bus once while here and immediately took transit to work in Calgary. Why I've asked? The cost of parking in downtown Calgary.
