And trying to do it when you're hammered is even MORE difficult!
At least their trains are still running when the pubs close.  |
I can only interpret the emoticon to be a swipe at how things operate in Calgary and that "they" ought to clue in.
Not that I wouldn't want to see train service later into the evening too, but London is hardly a very good comparable. Public transit service in Calgary having deficiencies and public transit service in London being among the best in the world are both a product of the environments and the context of each city. If London were a century-old western North American city a tenth its size that has done the vast majority of its growth since World War II its trains probably wouldn't run after the pubs close. It actually probably wouldn't have train service at all.
