Edmonton, Winnipeg, and Syracuse Transit access

[miketoronto]

As part of my transit access project, I have finally gotten around to doing maps for Edmonton, Winnipeg, and Syracuse, New York. The map shows bus routes that operate till at least midnight seven days a week.
There were other buses that operate till 11 or even 11:30 p.m. but because they don't operate till midnight or after, they are not included.

All three cities have about the same service area population, so it is interesting to see the differences between them.

Wow! 70% larger... I would have thought it about 20 to 25% larger. What are the serviceable populations?

When I was bored a while ago, I tried the ones for BC:

Vancouver
http://maps.google.ca/maps/ms?ie=UTF...4bb2befdd&z=11

Whistler
http://maps.google.ca/maps/ms?ie=UTF...c13b3090b&z=12

Sunshine Coast
http://maps.google.ca/maps/ms?ie=UTF...13f204cb5&z=14

No other route in BC have bus service till mid-night everyday (not even in Victoria, Kelowna, etc.)

Note: The Vancouver map has multiple pages, to view them all, copy and paste the following link into the map search box:

Edmonton proper has about 750,000 to 800,000 people. St. Albert and Sherwood Park have their own transit systems. Winnipeg Transit serves about 650,000 to 700,000.

These maps are pretty, but without demographics and traffic patterns to go with them, that's pretty much useless.
