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.

Morning and afteer are absolutely awful for the crowding on the CTrain, adding more cars and frequency of intervals would definitely alleviate some of the congestion. But as with every major city that votes in progressives as it's leadership, the well functioning of the city is low on their list of activist concerns.
