The Calgary Airport – Banff Rail project intends to have seven stops along the 150km route, built on a dedicated line (not shared with CP Rail’s freight line) ensuring on-time performance. The rail will be built within the CP Rail corridor and on Calgary Airport Authority’s lands.

Calgary International Airport (YYC) Multi-modal Hub
CABR has the potential to support the airport with a multi-modal transit hub which would further support YYC’s vision of a multi-use “airport city”.
CABR is proposing to serve YYC as a free “people mover” connecting four stations on the airport’s lands.
- Terminal: direct connection from travellers to downtown Calgary and Banff.
- Airport Transit Station: potential Calgary Transit LRT connecting the future Blueline and Greenline expansions.
- Airport West Station: connect developing commercial node, including hotels, offices, and industrial.
- Airport Trail Station: Edmonton – Calgary High Speed Rail providing shared access to downtown.
