CTrain riders can help the City of Calgary trial new bench styles at select stations by sharing their thoughts about the experience.

The aim is to find something “more durable and easier to maintain.”

Calgary Transit wants riders to try new stainless steel and concrete benches at Marlborough, City Hall and Brentwood stations, then take a survey using a QR code.

Transit service systems manager Chris Jordan says the hope is that a variety of riders—including those with limited mobility—will take part.

“Our goal is to choose a bench that provides comfort to customers, meets our technical requirements and can last approximately 10 years under frequent use in tough conditions,” Jordan said in a release.

In Thursday’s release, the city noted concrete benches previously installed along the Bow River pathway have been successful.
