I do hate to be 'that guy' but as we've been discussing in this thread over and over, the 'normalization' of this behaviour is contributing to the problem.

Average Joe Commuter might call once or twice, but if its day after day after day...I mean, eventually people are going to stop calling.

My sister-in-law works for the City in the Transit Department, its a problem, they know its a problem.

And combine copious crackheads hanging out on Public Transit with the advent and proliferation of from Work-From-Home combining to reduce ridership the 'normies' are being gradually outnumbered.

So Calgary Transit acknowledges its a problem. CPS acknowledges its a problem. I dont think Average Joe Commuter identifying it as a problem is something we can hand-wave away and dismiss as irrational Pearl Clutching.
