Umm... oookaaayyy....

I take the train from downtown to the north, so I miss most of the crowds, but I agree with the people who had complained about people pushing their way onto the train before the people get off. For the love of god people, you can wait the extra 20 seconds and actually be able to get on the train with less crowds!! I'm going to have to remember the 'Gordie Howe elbow' tonight as I try to get off the train at 8th St.

I've seen plans/proposals for the early C-Train development in the 1970's and there were plans for it to go underground downtown initially. I sure wish that they would have gone that way.
