rev:text	Calgary Transit, from the viewpoint of an occasional transit user, you're not so bad. Sure, you could use some improvements, more frequent bus routes, an LRT extension out to the airport and the likes. But can I really be angry at you today for a decision that was made several decades ago for Calgary to be a driving city rather than a transit city? Some say yes. I see no value in even going there. There are far better ways to expend my energy. We all know the drawbacks to Calgary Transit, I'm going to focus on the bonuses: - The train is free downtown. While our downtown is not huge, I appreciate this the most on a cold day. Taking the train an extra 8 blocks versus walking them on a -25 day (or worse with windchill) without having to worry about having a ticket makes a world of difference to me. - You can get anywhere in the city for $2.75. Recently, I was in San Francisco. They have payment zones. It cost me $8.10 to go from the airport to downtown. $2.75 for anywhere in the city doesn't seem so bad, yes it can take awhile, but that's the nature of taking transit. If you want speed, take a cab. - Service during major events. There's usually staff on hand with bins to collect your money and to hand you your transit pass. A large volume of people move through at a much faster rate than if we were left to use the self-serve ticketing machines. Train service is also beefed up with more frequency surrounding major events. Yes, I know, it's all part of city planning, they have to do it, blah blah... I still appreciate it. - It's bike, scooter and stroller friendly. - There are obvious plans for C-train expansion. Something I'd like to see sooner rather than later is a ticketing booth that takes bills and dispenses change. Or an easy-pay/quick-pay card I can load up and just swipe on my way by instead of having to worry about bus tickets. At any rate, every transit system could use some improvements, and we are a bit far behind other cities. But, as much as I'd love to see improvements come at a faster rate, I'm reluctant to see an $8 transit ride in my near future.
