🚊Edmonton LRT: High Floor vs Low Floor - The Real Differences

The Edmonton LRT system is undergoing a massive transformation! The new Valley Line (low-floor) is a completely different transit experience compared to the existing Capital and Metro Lines (high-floor). In this video, we dive deep into the differences to show you exactly how these two LRT systems stack up against each other. Is one truly better than the other, and what does it all mean for your commute? We Compare Edmonton's LRT Systems Across 4 Key Categories: 1. Light Rail Vehicles (LRVs) 🚅 A close look at the trains themselves: The classic Siemens U2 and SD-160 (high-floor) vs. the modern Bombardier/Alstom Flexity Freedom (low-floor). We discuss the vehicle design and compare the ride vehicles. 2. Accessibility & Stations 🧑‍🦼 A major difference! See how the high-floor system requires raised platforms and how the low-floor system allows for street-level boarding at a simple curb. We break down the impact on passenger accessibility, station size, and integration into the surrounding neighbourhoods. 3. Routes & Operations 🗺️ Why do they run differently? We explore the operational models: the high-floor lines prioritize a more separated, rapid-transit feel with fewer stops, while the low-floor Valley Line is designed for "urban-style" street-running with closer stop spacing and a greater integration with traffic (while still having priority). 4. Capacity & Ridership 👥 Which system can move more people? We look at the train length, car capacity, and overall design to compare the high-floor's high-volume, longer-distance mandate versus the low-floor's urban flexibility and frequency-focused model. Whether you’re a daily commuter, a rail fan, or just curious about Edmonton’s infrastructure, this video gives you the definitive guide to the high-floor vs. low-floor debate!
