Calgary Transit provides city-wide public transportation across Calgary, operating a network of light rail trains and buses that connect downtown, suburban communities, and major employment hubs. The system includes two CTrain light rail lines supported by an extensive bus network designed to move commuters efficiently across the city.

Key Features of Calgary Transit

• CTrain Light Rail System: Two CTrain lines form the backbone of Calgary’s transit network, operating primarily on dedicated tracks with high-frequency service through downtown and major corridors.

• Bus Network: Local, express, and feeder bus routes connect neighbourhoods to CTrain stations and key destinations throughout the city.

• Service Times: CTrain and most major bus routes operate from early morning until after midnight, seven days a week, with reduced overnight service.

• Accessibility: All CTrain stations and buses are accessible, featuring low-floor vehicles and designated mobility spaces.

• Technology: Riders can plan trips and check schedules using the Calgary Transit website and mobile tools, with contactless and mobile ticketing options available.

• Coverage: Service spans central Calgary, suburban communities, post-secondary campuses, and major commercial areas through thousands of stops city-wide.

• The system follows a “hub-and-spoke” model, using the CTrain as a central spine supported by feeder bus routes to improve efficiency and commute times.
