So much this. We take the C-Train for stuff like that once or twice a year. But it's done as a kind of civic gesture, and to teach the kids to be comfortable on public transit. It's not worthwhile in a cost-benefit sense to take longer and spend more money to go to the downtown library or Princes Island on the C-Train vs car.
Stang has is right - Calgary's transit system is built around getting people to and from downtown on weekdays. There's almost no rational, utilitarian case to use it otherwise if you have a car.
