I get on the Crowfoot train at the east end of downtown, and sometimes I even get a seat. I'm always able to get on. If I rode the west leg to 7th street first, I'd never get a seat, and risk not getting on at all. Why would anyone do that? It makes no sense. Maybe there was one or two people who got confused, but I very much doubt there's a large number of people doing that.
At least 20-30 people on my car alone (my half, actually) got off at the 7th street station, which limited access to the car on the previous stations for 69th street riders. It was packed to the brim.

I have a strong feeling the digital signs are to blame - none of them were advertising a 69th street train approaching when I was there - it was all Crowfoot. However, the train itself said 69th street.

However, if this continues, I imagine there are going to be a ton of frustrated West line riders.
