Why restrict the site to Canada?

Would it be possible to extend the site so that other countries could join in?

Wider track width

In the future, it seems the standard width of train tracks has to increase. Maybe to two metres of width. The same standard width has been in place for over 150 years...its time to increase this width.

I had to take it in the summertime, and I never checked the schedule for it either. It comes frequently enough that I never worry about it.

Buses that all come at once
irme Tue Sep 26, 2006 8:10 pm
In the day there are lots of buses so it doesn't matter. I really noticed this happening at night, like around 9 pm or later when you could wait a long time, then 4 buses would come.

Its like they don't even pay attention to a schedule and just come whenever they come.

For $2.50, the bus takes you back into Banff "downtown", on the way, it passes Banff Fairmont Springs hotel.
