Transportation Minister Devin Dreeshen : "We're actually working on some really interesting policy ideas on how to increase transit options for rural Alberta " Rural bus routes remain a low priority in Alberta ’s emerging vision for passenger rail, says Lorne Dach .

Dach supports the thrust of a survey on a proposed 15-year master plan for rail transportation.

A better bus system is “given passing attention, but it needs to be talked about now” Dach said he hopes more consultation follows from what he calls “just an initial starting point” The government plans to follow up the survey with regional open houses, and aspects of the plan could be reflected in the 2026 budget.
