Here are some photos from their adventures to inspire you! Come on, Mastodon! Time to catch up with the folks on Instagram! Solve the six clues & post your pics! #yeg #Edmonton #EdmontonTransit #ValleyLine #Diwali
Why did the chicken cross the road?
Here that answer’s an easy one.
A road without cars is much more fun.
If you’re a hen, or so I’m told.
With names on the double, a hen’s delight
(Even though she can’t take flight.)

A chicken, you know, isn’t built for flight.
But in this spot, even Henday finds height.
Up in the air, where her wings won’t reach.
And back in time, with lessons to teach.
Once, this city was linked by rail.
Now we’re back to the future. So let’s not fail.

It's up to you, to solve Clue Two! (don't shout out the answers - you have to find the spot and take your shot.)
Angels here can mark the way.
Near irons flat and trees times two.
Where multicoloured snowflakes fall
Against a wall of cobalt blue.
And here we go! Where am I? Can you solve the clue, find the spot, and post your picture in the same place?

It's YEGQUEST DAY! At noon MST, I'll drop a half-dozen clues for you to solve. Figure out where Henday was, take a photo in the same spot, tag it #yegquest and have a marvelous time, exploring our new Valley Line South LRT route. (All the clues are easy walking distance from Valley Line stops - but you don't need a ticket, if you'd rather travel by bike, car, or foot.) Join me in celebrating the Valley Line opening, Diwali, and my one year Mastoversary! #yeg #yegquest #Edmonton #EdmontonTransit
A survey about transit in Edmonton.
It's centered around the Valley Line but has some very general questions about comfort, usability, safety, etc. as well.

Edmonton Streetcar No. 33: The Highs and Lows of a Public Transit Vehicle

I really hate #security theatre. I have to do a password dance every 90 days to add money to my #EdmontonTransit Arc card.
While the new Arc Card for #EdmontonTransit is an improvement and for my part will increase my usage just by making it easier to pay it would be even better if transit was just a service provided by the City and funded completely by the City. It feels like #Edmonton is a few decades behind even the US as major cities start to consider fully funding transit.
