Calgary's free fare zone isn't the safety problem councillors say it is, data shows

Calgary Transit’s own data tells a different story than city council has been hearing: When boardings are factored in, not a single downtown free fare zone station ranks among the city’s top 15 LRT social disorder hotspots.

Appeasing backwards populism. Ask each councillor to go out and breathe the air with you the next time it smells like an ashtray and then ask them why they know so little, don't care & are doing nothing #ClimateChange #yyc #yyccc

There's only bad reasons to rip out Calgary's downtown #FreeFareZone. Tell your city councillor not to blow up things that ARE WORKING for Calgarians. #yyc #yyccc

From ripping out the #ClimateChange work to ripping out housing to making public transit harder for those that depend on it, this is just a super regressive, reckless & future-blind city council. Thinking it might be Calgary's worst since I moved back here in the early 2Ks? #yyccc #yyc #Calgary

This afternoon I had the pleasure of presenting to city council on the subject of their review, and city administration's recommendation, to close down the Free Fare Zone.

The free fare zone is a program that has a set of stations that bisects the heart of my neighbourhood in downtown Calgary be usable at no cost, to the great benefit of local residents, community partners, businesses and tourists. #yyc #yyccc #Calgary
