The Everyday Way

Yesterday they opened up a new leg of the LRT (Light Rail Train) in Edmonton. To celebrate, the city had a grand opening where you could ride the train for free between the new stops and go on a few tours. Taking advantage of anything free, Chris and I went down to check out the new stops. They should hopefully make taking transit to school much easier for Chris next year. We also went on one of their tours of a new bus garage. We got to see where they are stored, fixed, and cleaned. It was actually pretty cool. The entire garage is about 7.5 acres. They were selling popcorn and burgers and stuff, but we came prepared with our own popcorn that we ate while we rode. Here are some pics of our little Saturday adventure.

Chris and the underbelly of a bus.

Suspended for some work to be done..pretty sure it was actually just for show.

Oh yeah, The Everyday Way is their slogan for taking transit.
