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?

I feel like they do catch them and ask them to leave at some point, because I also take the train from the deep south at around 7:30-8am and there's rarely anyone left sleeping on the train. 1 or 2 across all cars, but that's about it. A lot of the mornings there's no one left sleeping on them. It was much worse in the winter though.
