The City of Calgary has the most extensive urban path and bikeway network in North America linking all areas of the city together. There are more than 1,000 kms of regional pathways and 96 kms of trails.
Calgary communities, parks and natural areas are connected by this extensive network of multi-use pathways available for all Calgarians to enjoy, whether for walking, running, in-line skating or cycling. There are a variety of designated cycling spaces in addition to our extensive pathway system, including wheeling lanes, cycle tracks, and bikes lanes. Each space reflects a specific design for the location and existing traffic flows and there is something for everyone.
The downtown portion of the C-Train which travels along 7 Avenue is known as the free fare zone. It is free to ride either C-Train route between 3rd Street East and 11th Street West along 7 Avenue, but a fare must be purchased if traveling outside of the downtown area.
Calgary's fast and efficient public transit system makes it easy to reach Downtown from any corner of the city.
The popular Light Rail Transit (LRT) or 'C-Train', operates on two lines heading north out of downtown and one heading south. The fare system in place is an honour system; customers are expected to have "proof of payment" with them at all times while riding the C-Train or in designated "fare restricted" areas.
Shared e-Scooters and e-Bikes are a great way to get to make your way throughout the city. The City of Calgary has issued permits to two companies to provide access to these safe, sustainable methods of transportation. Learn more about e-Bikes and e-Scooters
The downtown core is home to the largest expanse of walkways in North America. The Plus 15 pedestrian bridges stand 15 feet above street level giving its coined name. It accounts for 16 kilometres of a climate-controlled network of walkways.
During the winter months, this system enables travel between office towers, retail centres and many parking lots within a 50-block area.
In the summer months, Calgarians get to enjoy the numerous outdoor walkways in the city's core. One of the more popular spots is Prince's Island Park. The park hosts several festivals and performances. There are a number of pathways and bikeways that are a paradise for joggers, cyclists, rollerbladers, and walkers alike. Paths wind throughout the park and alongside the Bow River, and acts as a great escape from the office for the lunch hour. A comprehensive map of all the City's pathways can be found here.
