The free fares for youth 19 and younger riding buses and the light rail system will start following the conclusion of the RTD’s summer free fares for everyone campaign.
When I was in Ottawa, they had a segregated bus only highway. It was great when I was there. It got replaced with a train, due to it being overcrowded; that has had mixed reactions, but I can’t speak to it.
I’m in Montréal now. The REM sounds good, and I’m looking forward to full operations (it’s only 4ish stops right now). Montréal is still very much a car city, but we have good systems and there has been good incremental progress even while I’ve been here. I personally have some complaints about the amount of funding going into high infrastructure, but the cost is probably less than maintaining the old stuff. Montréals big advantage is it has lots of medium density in most the arrondissements; which is great for transit, walking, and micromobility.
Ottawa, Canada.
Man Canada seems to be getting really good with public transport, especially with the REM system coming out

Is the REM system considered High infrastructure?
I’m not sure what high infrastructure means?
Do you mean elevated? Mostly yes, with some grade and a tunnel through the mountain.
Do you mean the patrons? Probably, weed has been legal here a while.
