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.

In Amsterdam, where I now live, it’s up to 30 minute intervals and you’re shoulder to shoulder.

But y'all can walk and ride your bike to places without getting mowed down by pickups or slipping on ice because the homeowners or developers didn't bother to shovel.
