City report questions use of turnstiles for safety on Calgary Transit

City report questions use of turnstiles for safety on Calgary Transit

Global News
Thursday, May 11, 2023 3:57 AM GMT

Instead, city administration recommended enhanced staffing with funding for transit peace officers, security, police resources and outreach teams on Calgary's transit network.

Transit safety was once again front and centre at city hall Wednesday, as a city committee debated more security personnel and the feasibility of turnstiles on Calgary’s CTrain line.

The debate comes the day after an overnight stabbing at the Marlborough LRT station in the city’s northeast, which left one person in life-threatening condition.

“We do need to have some sort of solutions out there today, tomorrow, and the next coming months,” Ward 1 Coun. Sonya Sharp told reporters.

The city’s Infrastructure and Planning Committee heard the findings of a new city report which explored the feasibility of a ‘closed transit system,’ with turnstiles or fare gates installed on all of the city’s LRT platforms.

The 96-page report, titled ‘Assessing a Closed System as Part of The City of Calgary Transit Safety Strategy,’ determined a fully closed system wouldn’t be feasible in Calgary, and wouldn’t alter safety on transit.

“There is no correlation between the provision of fare gates and increased transit safety on existing systems with fare gates,” the report said.

“Other transit agencies with fare gates experienced increased safety related incidents throughout the pandemic and increased complexity with intersecting societal considerations impacting public transit.”

The report found there would be challenges with integrating turnstiles at the free fare stations along 7th Avenue in the city’s downtown core, and recommended against the city taking that approach.
