We’re finally moving forward with some of these things, but why is it taking so long? Why do we always need a pilot?

The EPark technology is basically Calgary’s ParkPlus system rebranded, and it will let you pay for parking with a credit card. You don’t even need a ticket – just punch in your license plate number. The Smart Bus technology is rolling out on two routes this summer and it’ll eventually bring us real-time transit locations so you can see exactly how far away your bus is.
