Its those moments when it is very clear that Calgary is not the place it was 20 or 30 years ago when others here say they rode transit on their own as youth.

There were homeless, beggars, drunks and people having conversations with themselves 30 years ago. The only difference I see today is that people are afraid to get involved if someone is being harassed. I can't see people standing by while a child is being harassed/threatened/accosted but who knows I guess.
Are there any statistics on children being harmed at transit stops or on transit vehicles?
Besides, we are talking about taking transit during the daytime not late at night.
