This summer, the provincial government announced a $2 billion public transit fund focused on regional co-operation. Thousands of commuters from bedroom communities around Calgary could benefit from the infrastructure.
"With thousands of residents from outlying centres using Calgary's roads or transit every day, some municipal officials suggest bedroom communities should contribute toward the city's growing infrastructure costs.
'Calgary already picks up a disproportionate share -- for example, 12 to 15 per cent of our transit users live outside the City of Calgary,' Mayor Dave Bronconnier has said. 'That is being picked up by Calgary taxpayers.'
