^And there looks to be no ending to it either....lots of expansions underway for Calgary. You guys are right, bar none most successful.
Edmonton is playing catch-up. It may have the continents first modern LRT, but for around 15 years there was 0 construction. With the NAIT, West, and Mill Woods lines, we will be caught up to cities like Calgary for kilometres of track and considering Edmonton already has a high ridership per capita, may be similar to Calgary in total ridership/day (although I doubt we'll take over Calgary as number one for now).
At least Edmonton is really starting to make LRT's expansion a big priority, finally. And it seems we'll be able to do it quickly, efficiently, and cheaply.
