Calgary Transit is "the" city owned and operated public transportation system. There are some private bus owners and operators but they are either charters or school buses.

Lastly there's Greyhound of Canada for long distance transportation.

Did you also see this bit, on the same article????

The city is also looking for mid-career urban planners, who would likely come from the U.K. Out of a total of about 80 planning positions, the city is already short 15 to 16 staff and a number of retirements are projected in the next five years, said Stan Schwartzenberger, director of development and building approvals.

"We're feeling the stress," Schwartzenberger said Thursday.

How's your job going? I have just started a new job in the UK. Moved back into DC until we are ready to move to Canada.

Just for the record......I'm an OTR Coach Driver, in the States (Married an American).

Good luck to anyone who applying for Calgary, though

She checked out my application and one of her colleagues emailed to tell me that i need a SIN number to gain employment. Went Back to Linda and asked if the would sponser me. Then i have just recieved and email from a guy called Dave (calgary transit) inviting me to at the expos in London and Leeds. He says that it would be better to attend and get the whole low down straight from the horses mouth.
