As one of the oldsters who is beginning to have physical difficulty getting around on my feet - I want to see good personalised transport; I prefer a taxi to rideshare like Uber, if I can't drive (that's going to come). Walking is a problem already, and our bus service is a product of Calgary's sprawl and prolific car ownership. A good bike-lane system, to keep the cars separated from the bikes and the bikes separated from the pedestrians would be a distinct benefit. One of the issues here is pedestrians who stray into designated bike paths.

One of the reasons why the elderly drive less could be because (in Alberta) you have to get a doctor's certificate after 80, repeated at increasingly shorter intervals. First, find a doctor!
