The downtown free fare zone a 2.5 km stretch that allows riders to hop on and off transit throughout the core at no cost. It has been a staple of Calgary since 1981 and after 45 years, it is now being considered for removal. According to a recent report, 85% of downtown businesses believe eliminating the free fare zone would have a significantly negative impact on their operations, raising concerns about accessibility and foot traffic in the downtown area.
