About the C-train

 I go to U of C by C-train. The C-train is so convinient and many people use one everyday. I was so surprised that C-train doesn't have a time table. In Japan train company have time table. Japanese always check the time that train arrive at the station, and go to the station. So if we go to the staition on time, we don't need to wait for the train to come. In the case of the C-train, the C-train comes to the station each five,ten,or fifteen minutes. We can't exactly know the departure time.
 And there are no staff at each stations. In Japan the staff are in every stations absolutely. And when we get on the train before, our tickets is checked by machine. We can't get on the train without ticket. We have to buy train ticket or buy monthly pass ticket. And the boarding price is different. If you want to go to far place, the price is high. If your destination is close, the price is low. However we can go to any station same price in the C-train area. We can also take bicycle on the C-train. In Japan we can't take one.
 The most different thing thing between C-train and Japaneses train is the C-train have to stop in downtown area, when the traffic signal is red. In Japan train's signal and public's one is different. I guess the reason that the C-train doesn't have exactry time table is nobady can calculate when does traffic signal turn red or blue. And C-train often stop. The winter in particular, the C-train doesn't work. If Japanese train often stop like the C-train, some people may be bring a suit to train company. Because many people who live in Tokyo or big city don't have own car. The parking fee is so expensive. Many people are using train and bus ever day. And many place, if we transfer bus to train, we have to buy bus ticket. The bus ticket is different.
 I suggest that it is better to built subway in Calgary. Because Calgary's winter have many snowdays and a lot of snow. In winter many people feel cold while they are waiting for the C-train. However if we have a subway, we don't need feel cold maybe...
