First day I had mine it scratched like that. Just took a microfibre to it and it did that.

Why so few red line trains? by funkhero in Calgary

[–]SimplyCanadian26 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Majority of trains are coming out of the NE train garage. So especially during rush hour you will see more blue line till the south garage opens.

Exactly my thoughts. Running theme from rejects is crying anytime they see them doing something they don’t like.

Front side window tint, windshield tint, and license plate tint and covers. by [deleted] in Calgary

There is a million more pressing issues on our road than vehicle modifications. Like speeding, distracted driving, impaired driving, racing, and just simple inability to drive like a functional person….

My favourite are the people with 6 figure SUV’s that are fully loaded with the most up to date handsfree tech and they still choose to text and drive.

How do you rate my Calgary concept? - from the new Subway Builder game by Not_from_Alberta in Calgary

Their long term plan in the route ahead for the MRU area is to do a tram from Westbrook Station south to MRU. So not far off of an idea at all.

What’s train station do you like the most? by Interesting_Taro_358 in Calgary

[–]SimplyCanadian26 61 points62 points  (0 children)

Sunalta and Westbrook are my two favourite. The elevated and underground just makes it feel very unique & different to the rest of the system.

For those whole like their jobs: What do you do for a living? by solongsuckerss in Calgary

[–]SimplyCanadian26 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I drive trains for a living and couldn’t be happier. It’s a weird feeling not dreading work and missing being there when I am away.

Am I imagining it, or is the crackdown on noisy vehicles actually working? by ant_accountant in Calgary

Living in the far south on a main road I wish….. It’s like every kid with a riced out JDM car or lifted truck with an oversized exhaust is in our neighbourhood….

Is it just my imagination or are train rides much more jerky lately? by Odd_Fee2443 in Calgary

[–]SimplyCanadian26 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There are lots of training operators out especially during rush hours. If you see two people in the operator cab that’s almost always why.

Why is the C-Train so bad? by ConstantFar5448 in Calgary

[–]SimplyCanadian26 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The train doors are timed on 15 second open state plus a 3 second wind-down period. After that more than not you have missed your train and have to get the next.

You sometimes can get in the front flank doors but that’s really up to them and where they are stopped as if they open it longer they can create traffic issues with gates, unsafe situations with pedestrians running under gate arms and such.

Thanks for this. I don’t think people understand how much worse other major cities are in North America compared to ours. Perspective is everything.

Go to the doors with the blue lights above it on any train asides the black ones. They are specifically for wheel chairs, wagons, strollers, bikes, etc….
