But I agree with you, South American public transit isnt something I'm familiar with but most North American and European public transit and I think we have it pretty good in Calgary.
I hate to be glib but if people think Calgary Transit is bad then they need to get around more.
I was on the subway in Paris and a woman literally opened her coat, pulled out a bottle of red wine, uncorked it and started pouring it into a glass and drinking.
Was I freaked out? Absolutely not! I was impressed! That takes talent and dedication.
I was in London the year they banned drinking on Public Transit and I toured around with a bunch of crazies going for one last drunken ride. The English are insane but no one was hurt. Except the one guy who got off the bus before it came to a full stop, but that was his own damn fault.
I took the train in Chicago and there was a dude doing what appeared to be meth. Thats his business, thats not my business.
I think the weirdest things I've ever seen on Calgary Transit was a very clearly homeless man speaking into a cell phone that didnt have a battery in it having a fake argument as though he were the band manager for Metallica.
No one was injured. It eventually got boring and the headphones went back in.
The kind of stuff on Calgary Transit is tame.

Not to nitpick but this literally a common experience in Calgary. Change red wine for other boozy products.
