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.

Seriously? How bad can it be?
I have not lived in Calgary since 2003, but I did live in Europe for three years with my wife and kids, and have travelled to most major cities there. I honestly never worried about my kids (ages 7–13 at the time) riding buses and trains anywhere we were living or visiting while overseas—not in Oslo, Manchester, Berlin, or practically anywhere else. I find it hard to imagine that Calgary is now so very different.
