| "Try to avoid" |
by Claire (from Calgary, Alberta)
June 2008 - The C-train can be great when it isn't rush hour. But if you are commuting back and forth between the downtown and home during regular rush hour it is one of the worst experiences, and lets face it, thats what most people use the C-train to do. During the busy times it is crowded, hot and constricting. Seriously try and avoid the entire situation if you can.

| "To squeeze or not to squeeze?" |
by Storm (from Calgary)
October 2007 - It is great that Calgary has the C-Train facility for getting in and out of certain parts of the city but the growing pains of the city's rapidly expanding population is indeed frustrating. Having commuted in both Tokyo and London, I find my end-of-workday moods swing between not wanting to squeeze and wishing we would all squeeze more. I despise riding the train jam-packed but find it equally exasperating when a platform is full of people but inside passengers don't move down the train and as a result only two people are able to get on. I know how crazy this sounds but I feel like the present pains with public transit are as much about a city getting used to being a large, busy city as it is about the shortage of transportation. But then again, Calgary isn't London or Tokyo and I certainly have never enjoyed sharing my breathing space with ten strangers so I'm all for not squeezing. More space, more seats, more trains, please. And soon.

| "Express Buses" |
by Fran (from Calgary)
September 2007 - Getting home during rush hour using Calgary Transit can be very frustrating, especially getting out of the downtown core. My best advice, try using an express bus. I've recently started taking the route #301 and it has taken off at least 15 mins or more from my travel time. They have the new accordion-style buses that can fit so many more people. I think it would be very beneficial for the city to invest in getting more of these type of buses.

| "A Hellish Ride" |
by Sabrina (from Calgary)
November 2006 - Drive, walk, run , ride a bike, anything else is better than Calgary Transit. If you enjoy being squished like a sardine in a can, take the c-train. If you enjoy commuting with rude, abbrassive, ignorant people then take Calgary Transit. The drivers of the busses and c-trains do their best under the circumstances but city and government officials need to wake-up and do something about the terrible public transportation the city of Calgary has.

| "Ditto a hellish ride." |
by Mark (from Calgary)
June 2006 - Further to Sabrina's comment, its been that way for a while now. Even so, how about 24 hr transit in view of you can't get a cab either. - Mark
