Calgary Transit/Routes

Provided here is a list of all Calgary Transit routes, including LRT service (CTrain), and buses (MAX, BRT, express bus, standard bus)

Tagging

Routes are mapped using the PTv2 scheme.

Calgary Transit bus routes (including BRT and MAX) are usually tagged like this:

Key	Value
type=*	route
route=*	bus
network=*	CT
name=*	service name (usually destination relative to city centre, may also include street names for disambiguation)
operator=*	Calgary Transit
ref=*	route number (1-3 digit)
colour=*	line colour as used in network maps and/or GTFS data. Most routes do not have colour; MAX routes have colours.

For the CTrain (LRT), services are tagged like this:

Key	Value
type=*	route
route=*	light_rail
network=*	CTrain
name=*	line name
operator=*	Calgary Transit
ref=*	route number

Route no.	Name	Termini	Relations	Notes
201	Red Line	Tuscany–Somerset-Bridlewood

Physical lines (tracks and infrastructure)

CTrain line nomenclature distinguishes between LRT lines (i.e. the services people travel on) named with colours and physical lines (i.e. the infrastructure and track segments LRT trains travel on) named with the direction relative to downtown. The physical lines are named separately from the services, and originated from the 1970s network plan for the CTrain, which was originally planned to be a subway/metro service. As of 2025, the tracks are being renamed to reflect this distinction.
