Yes, I kinda do actually. While crime is (and has always been) an issue on transit, you can ride the train 99.9% of the time without getting harassed, assaulted, stabbed, shot or killed. Fearmongering is a snowball that has rolled too far down the mountain here. Calgary transit isn't some Max Max / Beyond Thunderdome scenario, lol. Not sure the inadvertent tactic to scare riders is a smart one, considering they're counting on increased transit ridership using the City's new multi-billion-dollar Green Line that is currently underway.
