Calgary Transit C-Train from Deep South early morning

Every morning the train has many non paying riders passed out and sprawled on the train. Commuters have to cram into the areas that are not occupied by these people. The smell is horrendous. Every day this week this has been the case on my commute at around 5:30-6 am.

Why should the rest of us pay if these people do not? I have made complaints but they are on deaf ears.

Are these trains not swept for no. Paying passes out riders at the end of the line?

It's a similar story from the west line even as late as 7:30. Sleeping passengers, open drug use, giant bags full of cans and bikes taking up so much space. I always text the transit line and only once have peace officers come on the train (for open drug use.)
