Ozy, I get your concern with potential crowding, but come on, even the busses are crammed full with standing room only. I know this is pretty much always the case on the 301/101/104 during rush hours. I can't even count the number of times inbound buses have to skip stops because they're already full by the time they hit Westbrook.
The fact that the West will be served by the same service as the NE line which has 30%+ higher ridership means it will surely be way less crowded than any other line. Im surprised people on the NW or SW legs havn't chimed in to tell you to stuff it, as they often can't even catch trains they're so full. Oh and the SE commuters.....
Its as if you think Calgary Transit didn't do any research or plan this at all. Do you think they have some ulterior motive to cram everyone and provide worse service? These people do it for a living, leave the planning to them. They may not have it perfect on day 1, but they know a heck of a lot more about getting service optimized for the city.
