Phase 1 of Green Line will provide light rail transit (LRT) service over an 18-kilometre route from Shepard Station at 130 Avenue S.E. to Eau Claire Station at 2 Avenue S.W. downtown. It will have 13 stations and connect to Calgary Transit’s Red and Blue LRT lines and three MAX rapid transit routes.

The Green Line has $5.5 billion in funding from The City of Calgary, Province of Alberta and Government of Canada.
