🚲 Did you know? You can bring your bike on the bus! 🚌

Most Roam buses are equipped with bike racks on the front, making it easy to combine cycling and transit during your Banff National Park trip.
✔️ Ride one way, bus the other
✔️ Skip traffic and parking
✔️ Explore more with less effort

If you’re planning a ride that’s just a bit longer (or hillier) than you want to tackle both ways, transit + bike is a great combo. 💙🏔️

Learn more about the future of passenger rail from Calgary to Banff 🚂

Alberta’s Passenger Rail Master Plan is complete, marking another important step toward a more connected province. Albertans are invited to a final virtual public session on September 15 to learn more about the Plan and ask questions about the future of passenger rail in Alberta.

🚞 Passenger rail has the potential to ease pressure on our highways and strengthen connections between communities, including Alberta's mountain parks.

📅 The info session will take place Tuesday, September 15, from 7 to 8:30 p.m.

Alberta’s passenger rail plans continue to gain national attention.

📰 A new The Globe and Mail opinion piece examines the province’s renewed ambition for passenger rail and what it will take to turn that vision into a sustainable transportation system for residents and visitors.

🚅 The Calgary Airport–Banff Rail (CABR) project is an important part of that opportunity. It could offer residents and visitors a convenient alternative to driving, reduce congestion on busy roads, and ease pressure on our mountain parks.

It’s time the conversation shifts from whether passenger rail should return to Alberta to how we can make it happen.

Traffic is rising. So is transit use.

🚗 Nearly 900,000 vehicle movements were recorded at Banff’s two main entrances in July.

📈 That’s 4% more than the same time in 2025.

🚌 Roam Transit’s local routes carried more than 313,000 riders that month, up 20% from 2025 and 46% from 2024.

👍 That ridership is estimated to have replaced more than 126,000 private vehicle trips.

A new Rocky Mountain Outlook article looks at growing momentum for passenger rail in Alberta.

📰 The article highlights both the growing appetite for passenger rail and the need to address congestion as increasing visitor numbers put more pressure on the provincial roads.

💬 “We really do need a sustainable transportation solution in place,” Banff Mayor Corrie DiManno told the Outlook. “That said, it needs to come with disincentives to driving.”

Passenger rail, connected with Roam Public Transit and the Banff Eco-Transit Hub, could give residents and visitors a practical alternative to driving. The goal is not to bring more people to the Bow Valley, but to move them more efficiently, reduce pressure on roads, and create a more sustainable way to experience the mountain parks.

As Banff considers the future of sustainable transportation, another iconic mountain destination is asking similar questions.

🚠 A business in Queenstown, New Zealand, is seeking approval for a proposed aerial cable car connecting the airport, downtown, and surrounding communities. Queenstown has about 29,000 residents and recorded nearly two million bus trips last year.

The Bow Valley is home to a similar number of permanent residents, while Roam Public Transit welcomed more than three million riders in 2025.

💡 Different places, but the same challenge: moving more people through busy mountain destinations without relying on more private vehicles.

Around the world, mountain communities are exploring everything from passenger rail and transit, park-and-ride facilities, and aerial transit. Clearly its time for the conversation to shift toward moving more people, not more cars.

Banff remains as popular as ever. Vehicle traffic over the August long weekend surpassed last year’s already record levels, and July numbers suggest Banff is headed for its busiest year yet.

🚌 Meanwhile, more than 313,000 passengers used Roam Public Transit’s local Banff routes in July, a 20 per cent increase from last year.

People want to visit Banff and will choose alternatives to driving when those options are available. Better regional transit, intercept parking, and passenger rail can build on that momentum, helping more people reach Banff without adding more cars to its busy roads.

📈 The demand is there, and now we need the transportation options to meet it.
