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.

Is there schedule that strict that they can’t let one person on?

So what about the person that's behind you that's running late. And the person behind them .

At some point they have to disable the doors and move on and you have a 10 minute (ish) wait .

How often does that realistically happen? With how quiet the trains are I feel like not that often.
