Well, cars can't be hit underground, but people get hit. Standing too close to the train - plus subways are quite popular for suicides.
The plan is to move the NW-South line underground through downtown. Also the SE line will run underground downtown.
The problem is that all this costs a huge amount of money and it doesn't seem many Calgarians are willing to pony up the tax increases necessary to pay for it all. The province also is holding back it's money it promised for transit infrastructure ($2 billion). That could go a long way to get an 8th avenue subway.
