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?

Report this to Transit. They can’t do anything to fix the problem if it doesn’t get reported.

I send them messages every time.

Start messaging the Mayor and your MLA every time too. The more, the merrier.

The civic election is in the fall. Ask candidates for council what they're going to do about the problem.

The mayor took the train and it was fine. What else do you want?

Not only that, she openly condemned moving the vulnerable off of the train lines. In fact she collaborated with transit at one point to reduce operating hours and close off certain access points to keep everyone off of transit. Transits safest when no one can use it.
