Its unlikely Calgary will see four-car LRT service until 2015, and city council is bracing for backlash from the public.
Plans for longer CTrains have now been delayed a year longer than what Calgary Transit has long been promising.
But the city says it’s unclear when funding will arrive from the provincial government to allow them to deliver the extra c-train cars.
