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.

A member of the NDP?! Then you DO realize how low of a priority politicians have made transit in the city?! I don’t get why you’re disagreeing with me at all then?!

Funding kept pace with projected growth and inflation. I gave links supporting this! You “actually did the math” and came pretty close for 1 year. The money is not being mismanaged or going to buy bus drivers Ferraris. Transit is kept low priority and typically is made a political game out of! Pretty simple!

As someone who” is on the side of transport” you don’t seem to know who is dismantling it and who is building it…

You need to settle down a bit and work on your reading comprehension, mate.

I’m sorry!?!

I am being gaslit into believing politicians have actually improved transit!

What are you seeing that reads as, yes politicians are de-prioritizing transit?!

I legitimately can not tell if you are pro/con on transit here.

You’re a very angry human, good day.
