卡城市长Nenshi说:“每一辆三车厢的C-Train可搭载600位乘客,这意味着路上少了550辆汽车,这非常有意义”
卡城的C-Train平均每百万人口有53km的轻轨,在加拿大城市中人均最长,大部分的轻轨是在近十年内铺就的。
卡城有60Km的轻轨线路,45个车站,每天通勤120,000-145,000人次的乘客。
Calgary Transit的经理Douglas Morgan说,C-Train之所以设计在地面运行,是为了节约投资。
卡城的轻轨系统2001年开始使用风能电力,不过2012年之后,市政和Enmax签署了供电协议,包括LRT之内所有施政设施运行的电力供应,都来自于Alberta南部的风力电厂。
