If this thread is about Calgary Transit rage, then what the heck happened going NW yesterday evening? I arrived at the 7th street station, and the following trains arrived.

1) City Centre
2) Crowfoot, totally full

So far fair enough, we need more capacity, but they're working on it.

3) Train Says Crowfoot, announcer says City Centre, one full train full of people get off and join the hoarde on the platform
4) City Centre
5) City Centre
6) City Centre

What the heck? 4 Trains in a row turning around? I get that the first one probably broke down, but that's still 3 in a row.

The whole way home the announcements were saying, "Due to cold weather, we're having a 5,10, or 15 minute delay." It was -21 degrees. Calgary gets that cold very regularly, it seems reasonable to design a system where the components are rated for much colder use.
