“Public transit works because people come together and people interact and people share space and so it’s naturally going to be a place where underlying societal issues will interact with the public,” Willem Klumpenhouwer told Global News. “And I don’t think that transit then needs to be blamed or needs to be necessarily targeted for this specific issue.”

This is what you get for paying $3.50 a trip on Calgary Transit. #yyc #yyccc #yyctransit

"It’s really important that we recognize that all of us are on the same page in terms of recognizing that this system can be better,” Coun. Spencer said. #yyc #yyccc #calgary #yyctransit

You know it's morbidly sad when it takes an account like @cmcalgary to get Calgary Transit to fix issues like announcing the last train of the night, versus the actual people who are affected by these service deficiencies. This is why the words "world class" should probably never show up in those RouteAhead documents. #yyc #yyccc #yyctransit

The latest article by @ximenaka on accessibility of Calgary Transit basically highlights my fundamental belief of how transit is set up in Calgary: it exists for the sake of having a transit system, and will never achieve any of the goals it aspires for (inclusivity, adequate frequency, adequate coverage, etc). #yyc #yyctransit #yyccc #Calgary

Today Calgary Transit will be announcing that they have sold naming rights to the C-Train’s free fare zone on 7 Ave. #yyc #yyctransit

The City of Calgary is announcing naming rights to the C-Train free fare zone tomorrow. This newly added revenue stream will push the city's public transport system from severely underfunded to just slightly severely underfunded. #yyc #yyctransit #yyccc

I have a different take on the latest Sprawlcast on public transport in Calgary. I'm not going to repeat the theme of how misaligned its agenda versus actual implementatjon. My take is on who gets interviewed. I want to hear more from Demong on how transit was being spent and developed in the deep suburbs, or perhaps Pootmans on whether or not the West LRT has had a real impact. We obviously aren't reaching our Plan It goals, but what is working? #yyc #yyccc #yyctransit https://www.sprawlcalgary.com/calgary-primary-transit-network

There's some big stuff in here. As Mayor Gondek said, "These public hearings matter."

One thing I'm interested in - funding earmarked to lower the cost of weekend family transit passes...which as far as I know we don't have yet. But if we get them, awesome!

Update to earlier post: all went well timing-wise and I was able to speak to #yyccc on transit frequency. Even got home for supper before choir rehearsal.

I'm not expecting drastic changes, but it never hurts to ask for the city you want. Onward! #yyc #yyctransit

Also thanks to an attentive friend for this photo of me waiting in line to speak.

I love how Edmonton has a card tap service now for their transit system but Calgary just gave up and uses a less than ideal QR scan system. It truly is a transit system for the sake of having a transit system. #yyc #yyccc #yycTransit #WorldClassCity #yeg

Love the optimism! But at what point, dear Calgary transit, is a bus cancelled? 😂
