If you haven't heard, Calgary Transit passes went up today by $8. I can afford it, but I've decided to opt out of buying a pass from here on in, and try to run into work. It's ten miles. If I were to take Calgary Transit, it would be one bus and a train ride from Anderson to 8th Ave. It's still faster to run (most days), not because I am such a great runner, but because, let's face it, Calgary Transit sucks! I will be buying the odd book of tickets here and there, and I'm sure I will be amass a list of complaints for every experience I have.

I got off of work at at 5:30pm today. Was feeling tired so decided to take transit back home. It took me an hour and a half for the second straight day. Yes, you know it, Calgary Transit sucks. There was more than a few of us waiting for the bus. I arrived at the station at 6:00pm. The LRT ride went rather fast. Calgary Transit has managed to have buses running regularly on my route every 17 mintues from 3pm to 6pm, but after 6:00 there is this gaping hole of about 45 minutes where there are no buses. So all of those people who take transit and work a similar schedule to mine get screwed over. You think there would be enough people getting off of work at this time of day to justify a more regular service. It might be in most other cities, but this is Calgary, and Calgary Transit sucks.
