Calgary Transit will use electric vehicles for some community routes starting next year. Transit purchased 14 Vicinity Lightning EV shuttle buses from Vicinity Motor Corp. for delivery and operation in 2022. Calgary Transit has been eyeing battery-powered buses since 2018. Calgary chose to procure shuttle vehicles because other jurisdictions in Canada, including Toronto, have tested regular electric buses. Once in operation, the buses will be tried out and monitored for about a year, before Calgary Transit decides on next steps.
