able Brian Mason, Minister of Alberta
Transportation, at the opening. “This
facility means more Calgarians will bene-
fit from efficient, safe and environmen-
tally friendly public transit, spending less
time in traffic and easily getting to where
they need to go.”
It’s an investment into more than just
transit. By focusing on CNG, the Stoney
Transit Facility is an investment in the
environment as CNG buses produce
far lower tail pipe emissions. CNG is a
clean-burning fuel and, although it does
produce greenhouse gases, it is less
than gas or diesel. Located in the Stoney
industrial area in north-central Calgary,
the facility will initially provide diesel bus
operations as the city transitions CNG
buses into its fleet.
“The new Stoney
Transit Facility will
help meet growing
demand, support
better daily transit
services and protect
the environment by
supporting cleaner
energy systems.”
The Honourable Ahmed Hussen
