It's important for the city to continue improving and expanding its transportation options.
Absolutely! Calgary's commitment to enhancing transportation options is crucial for the city's growth and accessibility. 🚗🚆
I appreciate the thorough breakdown of Calgary's public transit system. It's helpful to know about the C train, bus routes, and the upcoming Green Line.
Thank you! Glad you found the public transit breakdown helpful.
While there have been concerns about safety on the C train, it's good to hear that the city is working to address those issues.
Absolutely, safety is a top priority. Calgary is actively addressing C Train safety concerns with ongoing initiatives and improvements.
Frankly, Calgary Transit need major upgrade on their transit system if city council want to compete with rest of the world. Calgary is one of the few major metropolis left which did not have 24/7 transit system in place. The transit system is poor. Buses actually run less during cold winter days. Other major Canadian cities had 24/7 transit systems. They run at least once every hour during the night. And at peak times, once every five minutes. Their transit systems actually get busier as temperatures start to fall.
Thanks for your honest reviews! Very useful info! We need more unbiased realtors like you here on TH-cam!
I'm glad you found it helpful. I strive to be as honest as possible in these videos!
@@LivinginCalgaryAnthonyTaylor HAHA! "as honest as possible"? What's impossible about being honest? Have you told anyone about the City Hall/Bow Valley College train station in this video? Ya might wanna if you're gonna REALtor around that area... But yes, the other information was actually interesting.
As someone who relies on public transportation, it's great to see the efforts made to improve safety on the C train and buses with measures like cameras, peace officers, and Transit Watch.
Absolutely! Calgary's commitment to enhancing public transportation safety is commendable. Cameras, peace officers, and Transit Watch contribute to a safer and more secure experience on the C train and buses. 🚇🚌
The fair-free zone in downtown Calgary is a great perk. It's convenient for short trips!
Absolutely! The fair-free zone in downtown Calgary is a fantastic perk, especially for quick and convenient short trips! 🚗✨
Just an FYI for 3:50, it’s true that the city used to have its own app but actually they have integrated that service to another app called Transit (at least on the iOS App Store, pretty sure it’s on android too). It has a green app icon, and it’s not just for Calgary, but other cities’ transit networks too! And it’s free
Hello and thanks for the heads-up! 🌟 You're absolutely right, and I appreciate you sharing that valuable information. The Transit app has indeed become a fantastic resource for navigating Calgary's transit system efficiently.
I have the same app on my Android phone. I find it most useful when I need to make different bus transfers. Also, on Ctrain platforms where the intervals between Ctrains aren't available. I also like the alert feature to inform me of delays and detours.
Also usless, because its not real time! ^_^. Dont forget usless.
@@lkuhhdsfgasdgvdadfg It's not real time? What do you mean? I find that it tracks the location of the bus decently well.
@@jumbolarge108 its been years since i used it but the last time i used there "real time app" it wasn't real time. You couldn't see where the buss was, and it lied about the time.
Very informative info on public transportation and honest review. Thank you for making this video!
Thank you for your kind words! Glad you found the public transportation information helpful.
1:56 thats the crowfoot station
Thanks for this video. I am now studying to railway construction engineer and have two years left. It would be great to go to Calgary and work with the c-train after my studies. Moving to Canada is in my bucketlist
Thanks for watching Alfred. I hope you get to cross moving to Canada off your bucket list on day!
Don't do it, this place is a shit hole
the buses' schedules are horrendous, and there are still a lot of bus stops without heated cabins and or lights. Yes, riding the bus is nice in the summer when you're off work BUT it is a nightmare when you have to wait at a crappy bus stop in a winter morning (... in WINTER, which is fairly long here) to go to work/school and have to get there on time.
I hear your concerns about the bus system in Calgary, especially during the winter. It's crucial to consider transportation factors when choosing a home.
Great breakdown of Calgary's public transit system!
Thanks for the positive feedback!
Safety is always a concern, but it's reassuring to know that Calgary's transit system has security measures in place.
Absolutely! Calgary's transit system prioritizes safety with robust security measures in place. It's one of the reasons our city is a great place to live and commute. 🚇
This video answered all my questions.
Thank you! Delighted to hear that.
The transit is good but it needs a lot of work done to it.
For the C-Train: We need more transit police to deal with crime and more cleaners for some of the dirtier stations (Franklin, Brentwood and Southland come to mind)
For the Buses: More buses should be put on the ground, to focus on the wait time-intervals, this would make it easier to use and make so more people would use transit
Worst C-Train Stations
1. Franklin
2. Southland
3. Barlow-Max Bell
4. Marlborough
5. Barlow-Max Bell
6. Heritage
7. Chinook
8. Lions Park
9. Rundle
10. Brentwood
outside of those stations and sometimes a couple others (City Hall, 1 Street SW, 4 Street SW, 39 Ave, Sunalta, Crowfoot, Whitehorn), you'll rarely see any of the issues of the transit such as crime, homelessness or dirtiness
I live near the south (Red) line, and Heritage and Chinook are the worst from what I have witnessed in the last 5-6 years.
You can use the CTrain ticket for the Calgary bus, right?
Yes, same ticket is valid on all Calgary Transit trains and buses for 90 minutes! There's also regional service by Airdrie ICE and On-It Regional Transit that have separate fares.
The upcoming Green Line will be a game-changer for public transportation in Calgary.
Absolutely! The Green Line will revolutionize Calgary's public transportation, enhancing accessibility and property values. Great news for the real estate market! 🚇🏡
Oh yes Calgary transits is bad I am born and raised here sure it has it bad days you need to make sure you get the app Calgary transit my fair as we are trying to go digital funny thing is I am in the livestin area also in Google play or Apple store us the transit with a green background dontbuse the Calgary app its not good
General Question: Can the monthly Ctrain pass be used for the gernal busess and Max lines system too?
yes, even in the brt airport buses
if you pay in brt bus its 12 bucks
@@ItzKKPlaysYTI travel on the 300 using my regular monthly bus pass. But then I don't travel to and from the airport.
7:23 "Calgary is an overwhelmingly very safe place to live, especially when you compare it to other major cities like Toronto and Vancouver."
*Shows very similar crime rates* 😆
It's good to know the routes.
Absolutely! Knowing the best routes is crucial for a smooth experience in Calgary's real estate.
I mean... I take transit daily and have to take the train at night, and its only gotten worse. The lack of transit officers over the last 5 years hasn't helped. Folk don't really care about open using harsh drugs in the train stations day or night. Or the other week, a guy with a hatchet was walking up and down the train. Things are not safe.
I'm sure its fine. Guns aren't a problem in Canada
@@robk7266 it really isn't fine. I don't enjoy people smoking meth on transit. Not a fan of being second hand high. And I'd rather have a gun problem than drugs here.
Your point about safety problems makes me glad I live in a part of the city where I can take buses, and not the Ctrains.
yea its terrible when you have to wait for the bus for 45 minutes out in the cold
Safety should always be the top priority, especially when it comes to public transportation.
Absolutely, safety is paramount, and it's a key consideration for many when choosing a neighborhood. Calgary offers a variety of safe and well-connected communities, making it a great place to find a home with peace of mind.
Honestly I’m way more concerned about the fact that I get stranded if I miss the last bus at midnight. If you’re scared of Calgary you’re going to be scared of every major city in North America
Whenever I see these trains, I scream “FOLLOW THE DAMN TRAIN CJ!!!”
The MAX bus system seems like a game-changer.
Absolutely! The MAX bus system in Calgary is a game-changer, providing efficient and convenient transportation options. Great for accessibility and enhancing the overall lifestyle in the city! 🚌
Quick question folk im 22 but doesn’t wanna spend $112/month so can i use the youth pass ? Like is there anybody checking or what ?
I am 23 and use youth pass. I don't bring ID with me and most who have commented on my face think I look several years younger than I am
If you're low-income, I recommend you apply for a low-income bus pass through the City's Fair Entry program. You can get a form from any transit office, but I recommend City Hall as that's where they're processed. Good for one year. All you need to renew is the form, picture id, and your tax return from the previous year.
*_"BULL!!"_* Our current lax, underfunded and backwards C-train system needs to be completely overhauled and uprooted in its entirety! It's now totally unsafe to ride (with few officers present in the vicinity), and fewer now feel safe to ride it, namely during nights/early-morning hours. Personally, I [now] refrain from using it during those [late-night] hours (often preferring to taking a cab), often encountering all kinds of 'activity' amongst nearby C-train platforms and the like - It's come to that I, myself, would now only feel safe (riding/waiting on a C-train platform) in having the ability of carrying a concealed weapon (a pistol) on my person.
Compared to other nations' public-ridership global transportation infrastructures: we're appallingly way behind in this end of that spectrum; and if I ever were somehow elected as our mayor of Calgary - and having it _my_ way - the first goddamn bloody thing I'd do as mayor, would be to *BLOW-UP* the whole goddamn forsaken thing and start with 'doing it right' the first time around - by putting it either under- or over-ground, *_goddamnit!_*
"And 'sure-rights', that's the way *_I_* see it! ... And you'd goddamn-well better believe it, _'mister'!"_
I don’t complain about public transport in Calgary and it’s safe but there is no security and peace of officer over here
When it comes to safety, Calgary's public transit could do better.
Its horrible most of the time I ride it someone gets big injuries
I think the green line should've existed 10-20 years ago. Would've been nice to take it during my junior high school years instead of having to rely on the 301.
You should mention that parents should not take their children on the CTrain especially in the early morning hours or evening.Unless they want to use it as a way to teach their children about drug abuse.The Ctrain is a great example of what will happen to you if you use drugs.Many Shelters with human excrement and drug paraphernalia also someone overdosed on something daily.Would be a great educational video for young children.I find the buses safer then the Ctrain and am happy I’ve only had to use the Ctrain to get downtown 3 times this last year.
Thank you for sharing your experience. Safety is a top priority for everyone, and it's essential to be aware of your surroundings. While the CTrain is a convenient mode of transportation, it's important for parents to consider the time of day and exercise caution. Exploring alternate options, like buses, may provide a more comfortable experience for some. Feel free to share any other insights or questions about living in Calgary!
Terrible review, you clearly don't take the train. Everything bad about the C Train has gotten worse in the last ten months, when you posted this video. What's the point of the Calgary guy act if you're just gonna rely on google searches and news statistics instead of actually riding the train?
Cal- Gary lol
I've been living here for 5 years, and I still can't seem to kick that habit and pronounce it like the locals 😂
There are no night buses. None. It’s shit.
The C-train is decent itself, but there are lots of junkies on the stations and on the trains. The bus, on the other hand, is safer, but it's slow and infrequent. So pretty much all transit in Calgary is crap. No wonder people prefer cars and thus facilitate urban sprawl.
Couldn't agree more!
I live in calgary

Public transportation like Calgary itself is garbage
Bloody-well 'sure-rights' it is! ... "And you'd goddamn-well better believe it, _'mister'!"_
The upcoming Green Line will be a game-changer for public transportation in Calgary.
Absolutely! The Green Line will revolutionize public transportation in Calgary, enhancing connectivity and accessibility across the city. Exciting times ahead!
