It took me 20 minutes to drive home.
Why don't I take transit? That's why.

The buses themselves are very unreliable as well. Most are crammed during peak hours, and run very sporadically outside of peak hours. On top of that, Calgary's winter weather can be very difficult to deal with when waiting outside for a bus for 40+ minutes.
Unless you are going and coming within a few blocks of a train station, transit in Calgary is a challenge.
