CTrain is a light rail system in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. It has been in operation since May 25, 1981.[1] The system is operated by Calgary Transit, as part of the Calgary municipal government's transportation department.[2] The CTrain system has two routes, with a combined route length of 59.9 kilometres (37.2 mi).[3] The Red Line (also known as Route 201) is 35 kilometres (22 mi) long and serves the southern and northwestern areas of the city. The Blue Line (also known as Route 202) is 25.7 kilometres (16.0 mi) long, and serves the northeastern and western sections of the city.[4]

Most CTrain track is at grade, within its own right-of-way. The downtown portion services both transit lines along the 7th Avenue South transit mall at street level, and is shared between the CTrain, Calgary Transit buses, and City of Calgary vehicles. This portion is a zero-fare zone and serves as a downtown people mover. The tracks split at the east and west ends of downtown into lines leading to the south, northeast, west and northwest residential neighbourhoods of Calgary. Six percent of the system is underground, and seven percent is grade-separated (elevated).[4] Trains are powered by overhead electric wires, using pantographs to draw power.

Calgary Municipal Building Downtown Future Planned subway line under 8th Ave

This underground station was built under the Municipal Building as part of a proposed future 8th Avenue subway. There is a short section of unused transit tunnel leading to it from the South leg that was blocked off after underground urban explorers started following it into the station.
