"From heated floors and air conditioning to increased accessibility and more comfortable seating, these new trains will make using public transit an even better choice for our citizens." The new cars will boost four-car CTrain service, which carries up to 800 passengers per trip. "We’re really excited about the Mask and what it means for improving our customers’ experience," said Calgary Transit Director Doug Morgan. "We have really tailored this design to what our customers have told us they want, and we are especially proud of being able to offer fully accessible transit service." The new cars feature heated floors, air conditioning, better lighting, improved seating and onboard digital displays to keep passengers up to date on route information and news. Calgarians were asked to help choose the design of the front of Transit’s new CTrain cars by voting on three options: The Bow, inspired by the Bow River; The Buffalo, inspired by the buffalo; and The Mask, inspired by a hockey goalie mask. The winning design of The Mask represents individuality, reliability, style and protection, a fitting design to represent Calgary. Calgary Transit is committed to improving the customer experience. The decision to continue running the longer trains is helping us fulfil our new Customer Commitment to provide safe, reliable, and easy-to-use transit.
