Edmonton Transit Service (ETS) will launch its online merchandise store on Thursday, along with a partnership with the Transit app, which gives riders access to its subscription-based “Royale” tier. The city announced last month that it had paid for a four-year subscription to the Transit app, which would allow all riders to use the premium tier for free. The premium tier gives riders more trip-planning options while integrating on-demand transit service and other transportation modes, including Uber and rentable e-scooters. It also allows riders to provide feedback through the platform. ETS will hold a news conference and a performance at 1:45 p.m. With files from CTV News Edmonton’s Craig Ellingson
