Excel's response was, "No way Calgary can afford something like that to begin with."

Now let's move on. I get that you've become hugely defensive given that Excel's response highlighted how ridiculous your suggestion was. Now move on please.

I was talking about the robotics but yes, you need to move on and vastly improve your English.

Southwest Calgary Bus Rapid Transit nears end of the line

Construction on the southwest Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) project is on track to be complete by late fall, the City of Calgary said on Wednesday.

“There is a light at the end of the tunnel here,” said Brian Tang, senior transportation engineer with the city.

“Over the next few weeks, you’ll see all the areas will be paved with asphalt. Once that happens, everything will start getting cleaned up and all the lane closures will start reducing and it’ll start looking a lot better.”

The southwest BRT project is one of four additions to the city’s primary transit network.

The project includes new BRT stations along the length of the route, and construction of new bus-only travel lanes on 14 Street W. between Southland Drive and 75 Avenue S.W.

Buses will run in mixed traffic along the rest of the route, except on portions of Glenmore Trail and Crowchild Trail, where buses will be able to use the shoulder lanes to bypass traffic during rush hour.

According to two separate releases, the study will start in October and is scheduled to be completed next August. It will include a ridership review, development and evaluation of different alignment scenarios. It will also include a study to identify the optimal connection from downtown to the airport.

The province said it has allocated $3 million in Budget 2023 so the city can lead the Calgary Airport Rail Connection Study.
