| Public transportation in Calgary began with the Calgary Car Company Ltd. in 1905. The system was short lived, however, running only until 1908, with it's full shutdown occurring in October of 1915. Municipal owned service began with the Calgary Electric Railway on July 5, 1909, with the hope of leasing the service to private operation. When that failed, the city retained the service, and renamed it the Calgary Municipal Railway in the early part of 1910. During their operation it underwent outward expansion, and introduced bus service in 1931. On July 19, 1946, the system name changed again, to Calgary Transit System. During this encarnation, CTS saw the operation of both diesel and electric trolley buses. The system name changed again, to Calgary Transit on July 7, 1970. Since that date, CT saw the end of trolley bus service, and the introduction of light rail commuter service, called the "C-Train". CT continues to operate transit in Calgary to this date. |

| Public service in the area of Lake Louise began in 1912 with a single track, narrow gauge passenger tram system named Lake Louise Tramway. It operated annually from May to September, until 1930. The service used open car and closed car, gasoline powered trams, and ran from the Canadian Pacific Railway's Laggan Station (Laggan was renamed to Lake Louise in 1914), to the Chateau Lake Louise hotel. Both the tram system and the hotel were owned by the Canadian Pacific Railway. Service today is run by buses, and in this rural area of Alberta, is more geared towards the tourism industry. |
