The Alberta government has confirmed that it will be discontinuing its funding for low-income transit passes in Edmonton and Calgary. This decision has drawn widespread criticism from mayors and advocacy groups, who argue that the program is essential for low-income residents to access basic necessities and participate in the economy.
