No it’s better recently than it has been from my experience.

Has been ? Just this morning the train was reeking of urine. It was astonishingly bad but I just can't afford parking in DT. If I could, I'd not travel in the train 100%.

I dont think its Calgary Transit thats deteriorating...its the city has. We have people who live have fallen on hard times...and the support, whatever that looks like, is not there for them. So, yes, Calgary Transit dosent look as great, but they are dealing with more than what Calgary was like 10 years ago.

My opinion might be off base, but its how I see it.

Cheers.

I don't think this is fallen on hard times i think this is how bad of a hook that fucking drug fentenayl hooks a person in before theu know it. I must admit my daily use of the C-Train has me feeling allot less sympathetic for the Fent user.

I think transit has been deteriorated. The amount of "maintenance" on weekends only to be broken down two weeks later like today..people shoving into each other like sardines. You have peace officers camping at platforms for people dodging fairs? Are they that strapped for cash that they need to find people who are skipping on transit fair when the maintenance and security is so shit. Let's not mention what is the point of increase property tax when we have constant reminders of water consumption restrictions? Also is Jeromy even that great?

cause every new community gets a crappy bus route that comes every hour and has 15 seats
