No one that lives near 39th st station really considers using it to get to work. There isn't a lot of people who use the train station at Chinook to get to work downtown either. The train is full.
Okay, but why would the trains be full? The S line is over capacity because it shares track downtown with the W-NE line. The C St alignment wouldn't have this issue, whereas the Deerfoot alignment would.
