Calgary transit is useless on the weekends and if you live in the suburbs. I live in Discovery Ridge and wanted to take my 2 year old daughters to the Westhills Shopping Centre on a Saturday. For point of reference, google maps says the driving time ( by caris rom my place is 12 minutes and 4 km long. According to Calgary transit, I would have to take the 439 bus to another suburb and then transfer to another bus. I can't imagine doing thar, especially in very cold weather with 2 toddlers. No wonder nobody wants to use Calgary transit unless they're in dire straits.
