They need to fix the digital signs on those downtown platforms. I waited around 7:45 PM yesterday at the 4th Avenue station, and all signs said CROWFOOT. It seemed like I was in for a 35-minute wait for a friggin' Westbound train. Hooray.
I waited 20 MINUTES, and the Crowfoot Train that was pulling in was actually a 69th Street train and the digital signs didn't even mark it until the train came to the platform. The only reason I knew was the digital sign on the front of the train.
Nevertheless, should I really be having to wait 20 MINUTES for a train on the new line at 7:45 PM? This wasn't 1:00 AM... I don't want to sound whiny, but, reallly... come on. People are still downtown at that time.
As for the parking at the old Science Centre, that's not a major parking lot, and shouldn't be considered one. It actually holds a fairly small amount of vehicles relative to other parking lots downtown.
As for people getting off at the 7th Street Station, well, they could be walking to their cars because on the downtown west end because they were on a Crowfoot Train because that's all that comes (lol). Also, that's the end of the free-fare zone, so I would assume several groups of people would get off at that station, purchase a fare and board the next train.
