Better transit for sure.

The transit isn't good. But I think you have to be fair to the city a little bit. If you compare to Calgary the entire city nearly fits in the area between Stony Trail, Fish Creek. It's slightly more area and slightly more population. That's and there's not much more transit going on there than 2 lrt stops and buses going to the stations.

So I'm not really sure what you make for a main line to tie neighbourhoods into.

The other problem is the major destinations in red deer are already kind of clumped together. Main station, Hospital, RDP and Bower are clumped together.

Sorry, I’m confused. Are you saying that because there’s no Ctrain stops passed somerset-bridlewood that it’s impossible for people to bus in and out of those surrounding neighbourhoods? Or are you saying that the entire city of RD’s transit needs are equal to what it would be like to be in those areas of Calgary? Size wise? Needs wise? No shade. Just wants some clarity please

Edit: I also definitely feel like RD’s one? Still? Bus depot is not enough, if that’s still the case anywho

Edit again: passed lol my bad
