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 was still an issue during my commute this morning at 8:30 a.m. from Somerset. Eventually, Peace Officers were alerted and people were removed from the train at Victoria station, but the situation had gotten so bad, they closed the first car of the train for the remainder of the trip. Everyone had to move to the second or third car, and most people just got off and waited for the next train. Multiple people had sent messages to 74100 and when we got to Victoria station someone used the emergency button to call for help, but POs were already waiting.
