Calgary C-Train Special

[@matthewbrown8486]

6:37 Dalhousie Station: End of line. Thank you for riding Calgary Transit.

[@AutumnArson]

well the C-train in calgary is the Most successful LRT in North America I believe

[@AlbertaAllan]

This is between Dalhousie and Brentwood Station. They are constructing a new LRT terminal in Crowfoot just beyond the Dalhousie LRT. The only grafitti I see crosman is inside the bus shelters at the Franklin LRT near where I live and at Whitehorn.

[@FastCarsNoRules220]

Wow, I kinda miss seeing the SD160s in the old blue and purple stripes livery. Last time I saw those was like in 2010-2011 or something.

[@stuffedvegetables]

@ThreadyCashdrummer01 If you mean the buzzing in the background (on the new trains) it's a signal that the train is slowing down and that the driver is using the breaks.

[@jonray107]

during normal hours they can be very empty but i think its because from a certain point its free to ride until u cross a certain station, also they have to many coming, like 1 per 2 or 3 minutes smtins and ppl cant always fill em up.

Edmonton South LRT is based on calgary's north LRT-Short tunnels,Median running,

The C-Train was built when Calgary had a population around 550,000 - which is very small for light rail.

[@VeryGoodFeeling]

yes , we in frankfurt in germany have the trains (U2 / sd160) since 1968 in our light rail system.

[@D40LFR]

finally, a c-train video

[@Tommybouchard2007]

i wish i live in calgary cause i like the sound of sd160s edmontons u2s sound really old

[@tool235]

Ironic because Calgary's C-Train actually carry the most passengers per day in all of Canada.

[@TTC4300]

My first ride on the C-Train in Calgary was a U2 (I'm from Toronto, ON). Have yet to ride on the SD-160 which is in my future.

[@SPS148669]

There is a guy on youtube called "tommybouchard2007 "who film ed an edmonton SD160 running empty with hardly none aboard..

[@SPS148669]

There planning a west line which will have 1 elevated staion and 1 underground station. Search for calgary west lrt on google.

[@KigoNico]

Man that voice. Sounds so nostalgic. Now it's completely different. Plus those SD 160s got some upgrades.

[@stevejudge7873]

3:26 HET?!

[@Beroean30]

actually I think the MARTA in Atlanta is

[@blueberrypie3619]

omg this is old its rec before I was even born

[@italo36]

now the population has doubled. one would think that the transportation would be more modern and updated.

[@Sharkmonger]

Because maybe the same company has the same proudcts?

[@Drull]

You should record additional videos. Show what it's like during rush hour downtown, or on a night when there's a hockey game :)

[@chrisisAAAAAAAA]

italo36: putting it underground, thats a waste of money when right of ways were already present

[@A380sebster]

I love the c-trains. but they are VERY noisy. especially the tunnels!

[@crossmr]

@bikergal100 actually they should be made to say come to Seoul and ride the subway here for a couple weeks. I used to love the c-train in calgary.. but it's an embarrassment compared to what goes on here.

[@crosman177]

You need the graffiti pictures of calgarys finest artists, decoratin the lrt.

[@SPS148669]

I thought SD160 is an ecluslusive seimens car for North America while germany ugraded to U3 and U4 ect) I saw videos of the newer german eclusive ones.

[@Junokaii]

@AutumnArson It is. You can't compare it to places like NYC, or Montreal, Toronto etc, but that is because they are biggeer cities, most of those examples on a per capita basis, if Calgary was the same size as some of t hose bigger cities, our ridership would outdue them any day.

[@Drull]

We have a new type of train car here in Calgary. No idea what its called though. You should film that one too, include it in the same video.

[@aussiecan]

Dude, does anyone take transit in Calgary? The trains are empty.

[@skinnylee2]

How could you say that? Every time I get on the C-train, it's always PACKED! Lol

[@Drull]

6:17 "whoops" Did you slip?

[@canadiancatgreen]

cool trains but where is everyone the train almost is eerie with noone arond and 3 peope in the second one

[@danier81]

calgary should always prepare for the future or all government should always prepare for the future of thier city

[@Junokaii]

At least the noise here in Calgary won't make you def or cause permanent damage unlike NYC Subway which is heavily criticized for it's noise levels by the EPA and the world health organisation.

[@SPS148669]

I made a spoof of this video for Edmonton,LOL ha ha ha ha.

[@SPS148669]

Why do calgary and edomton alway copy each other? Same cars U2/SD160 same door chime"Ding-dong",ect

[@JAMESPAULS-mo1tt]

Hi

[@JAMESPAULS-mo1tt]

HI LRT

[@aussiecan]

Go to Calgary. Stand in the trackway and close your eyes. Plug your ears too. We'll all make the flight to watch what happens

[@italo36]

that Calgary C-train is so noisy. You would think with the money of Calgary, their ''subway'' would be underground or at least as modern as Montreal or Vancouver. Calgary transit sucks.

[@liamayres8431]

Man
