CALGARY – Premier Danielle Smith says a robust passenger train system in Alberta will be key to meeting her government’s goal of a $25-billion tourism economy.
Smith, speaking at a forum in Calgary, said she envisions a passenger train system that includes not only a high-speed train connecting Edmonton and Calgary, but also trains linking airports to city centres and Rocky Mountain tourist destinations.
“We’re planning for more than just commuters,” Smith said Friday.
“There is an undeniable opportunity to expand to the destinations that so many visitors who come to our province want to see.”
