Seems like some proactive approaches could be taken to more closely monitor a few dozen camera feeds for key entrances and stations with increased safety issues. Then as soon as problems arise, they can dispatch transit peace officers.

The fact that there are 5+ people passed out and doing hard drugs for hours on end without any response at times is concerning. Crowd sourcing issues is fine for potholes and snow shoveling, but for safety and security we shouldn’t rely on citizens. How can WEM have a more proactive approach than ETS? (My bro worked at the mall and said they often had eyes on problem people as soon as they entered the mall and immediately moved security towards their direction.

Same with Kingsway. Saw proactive response many a time.

Q4 numbers came out from APTA. Even with the effects of the strike and less international students, we still have good YTD numbers for the LRT. If October didn't gut our transit numbers, I'd argue we're overperforming compared to some other cities.

Some interesting data from the ETS presentation to Council later this week. Still find it cool that with the switch to Arc pay to go; Edmonton has one of the lowest fares now among the Big Six.

I don't get why they wouldn't include LRT "stops". TTC's Finch West "stations" are pretty much the same as our VLSE "stops".
Calgary also has many more than just 483 buses. They have over 1100 buses.

Agreed and was also taken aback by the bus numbers.

So one way to really annoy passengers is what a Valley Line driver did this evening of the 3rd of March. A two-car train arrived at the 102nd Street Station after the hockey game at Rogers Place was completed. First of all the train stopped on the southeast bound platform and indicated to all the passengers waiting on the platform that the train was out of service. Now that part was a little annoying but the next part was even more so annoying. As this two car train was sitting on the southbound platform a one car train showed up on the Northbound platform which required everybody that was waiting to change platforms around this other train that had showed up in front of all the passengers waiting. Furthermore when the passengers were crossing the tracks to get to the train that was still in service the driver of the two car train honked her horn at the passengers trying to go to the train on the other platform as if it was an inconvenience for the driver to wait a few seconds. What really surprised me was the fact that just about every time I have seen a train arrive at the 102nd Street Station and is about to go out of service it will usually park on the westbound platform because most people waiting are always waiting on dit South East bound platform.
The other additional part that really didn't make much sense to me is that as we all know the garage for the train is past the Davies station. By the time that the one car train was headed southbound we were already fairly full and had yet to even pick up passengers at Churchill station where the entire train became standing room only.

A more trivial detail, but the KM of track does not track () with the Wikipedia figures either, but you have to buy the CUTA report the presentation is citing so idk who to believe.
