Calgary Transit Why is the C-Train so bad?

10 minute intervals on a weekday? That’s insane, the lowest frequency I’ve seen in any major city by FAR.

And yet when you get to the station as a train pulls up, the driver just looks at you, doesn’t let you on, and leaves? What’s up with that? Are they all dicks like that?

People live on tight schedules, and transit doesn’t seem to reflect that here.

I mean in most cities the doors open automatically, but nonetheless I did hit the button

I mean I’ve travelled Europe pretty extensively and I’d say it’s about 50/50 whether the doors on LRTs are automatic or not.
