Calgary Transit's incompetence is amazing. They closed the bus stop I typically use and there's a small sign redirecting riders 3 blocks away to another stop - good thing I looked closely and saw that print in size 12 font, right? Well, not so fast - I go to that alternative stop and there's ANOTHER sign saying to use the temporary stop two blocks north! So it's a scavenger hunt for the bus apparently. So, swearing under my breath, I head to THAT stop, which helpfully has a sign saying it is the temporary stop for my route. So, that sucks, I've missed my bus and have to wait a half hour for the next one.
... except there is no next one. I wait for 40 minutes and nothing, alongside half a dozen other people. So I call calgary transit.... and they say that temporary stop no longer applies and we have to go back to the previous stop.
This level of incompetence, in most lines of work, would not be tolerated. Of course, when it's government, nothing will come of the complaint.
