Abstract
This paper outlines the findings of the RouteAhead project, Calgary Transit's 30-year strategic plan, with a focus on bus rapid transit (BRT) service. RouteAhead's public engagement provided Calgary Transit with feedback on all of its services, including bus rapid transit (BRT). Calgary Transit evaluated the effectiveness of BRT and transitways (busways) in the future context. This paper describes the results of evaluation of recent infrastructure investments and the findings of the RouteAhead project, including: 1) Current role of BRT in Calgary - BRT is a cost-effective approach to increase mobility on key corridors. BRT has been implemented in Calgary as limited stop service with articulated buses and transit priority measures to address bottlenecks. The paper highlights the success of BRT in Calgary based on key performance measures, including customer satisfaction; 2) Future role of BRT under RouteAhead - BRT is a key tool on new cross-town corridors that connect smart growth areas and major trip generators outside the downtown. The paper demonstrates the logical progression of these services on several of these major transportation corridors, and; 3) Future role of transitways - the plan includes enhanced BRT facilities that will include long transit-only lanes and/or busways, high-quality stations, real-time arrival information displays, off-board fare payment, and other customer service technologies. The paper demonstrates the customer service and operational improvements associated with transitways through a case study analysis of the Southeast Transitway (SETWAY) corridor in Calgary.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
