Calgary Transit may soon offer its first bus service outside of city boundaries.
On Thursday, city council s intergovernmental affairs committee approved a plan to have city officials open negotiations with the City of Chestermere on a regional transit service agreement.
The plan is to extend the existing Max Purple bus rapid transit service to Chestermere, five kilometres east of Calgary s boundary.
The initial proposal would be to offer two buses during both the morning and evening rush hours, making several stops in Chestermere.
