EDMONTON TRANSIT RIDERS LAUNCHED AS A NEW VOICE FOR EDMONTON TRANSIT RIDERS

Edmonton Transit Riders have been operating as a group for the past six months and had a coming out celebration on Sunday. Edmonton Transit Service provided the event with a charter train that took off from Stadium LRT Station around noon and carried passengers to the Blatchford Gate LRT Station where about 250 Edmontonians got a sneak peek of the non-operational LRT station.

Edmonton Transit Riders have been engaging with transit users and city officials on ways to improve the transit network and board chair Daniel Witte says the launch party was a chance for Edmontonians to meet with the organization to have their voice heard.
