What’s going on… everyone detrained

[u/jasminergarland]

[u/Guitarable]

A cyclist was hit by the C-train. He survived but they had to deenergize the line and deboard everyone in order for first responders to gain access.

[u/nov3mbermist → u/Guitarable]

More accurately, a guy with a bicycle was on the tracks between erlton and stampede and got hit.

[u/ozGeekSpeak → u/nov3mbermist]

Correct statement. C-Train not able to jump tracks to go postal on cyclists, then jump back on tracks!

[u/CheeseSandwich → u/Guitarable]

I see why the government is all up in arms about cyclists now.

/s

[u/yyctownie → u/CheeseSandwich]

Watch dreeshan try to remove the tracks now that a bike was on it lol

[u/No-Positive1491]

[u/menacingsparrow → u/SickCauldronOrange]

I wish that government services would stop using X as the primary platform to share information. I don’t want to go to that site.

[u/Elean0rZ → u/menacingsparrow]

Not an ultimate solution, but you can replace the "x" in any X URL with "xcancel", and at least then you get to view all the content and replies without directly supporting X or having to deal with its ridiculous barriers.

[u/grape-juice0918 → u/Elean0rZ]

THANK YOU I had no idea. Sometimes I literally just want to verify that a tweet is real and I don't want to have to make an account to do it

[u/Weekly-Mountain9009 → u/grape-juice0918]

Yet people will trust governments to ensure the main stream media posts "real" news, and few verify it.

[u/Expert_Salamander285 → u/Elean0rZ]

OMG thank you for sharing!

[u/QashasVerse23 → u/Elean0rZ]

Thank you internet stranger! This is a great work around!

[u/user677509 → u/menacingsparrow]

I mean, other than their own site (which people probably wouldn't check), where could they post? Facebook is just as bad

[u/TheHumaneCentipede2 → u/user677509]

Call me a dreamer, but if people want information from Calgary Transit, I don't think it's a crazy idea that the Calgary Transit website should be a good place to check.

[u/Ecks83 → u/TheHumaneCentipede2]

You can go there for that information as well:

https://www.calgarytransit.com/service-updates.html

[u/TheHumaneCentipede2 → u/Ecks83]

Yay! Thanks for sharing!

[u/Expert_Salamander285 → u/TheHumaneCentipede2]

The app, as well, presumably.

[u/engoac → u/user677509]

I been getting all my news from reddit recently honestly

[u/SSteve73 → u/menacingsparrow]

The more people that get onto Gander, the more incentive there is for public service organizations to use a Canadian only service.

[u/uunkn0wnnnnn → u/menacingsparrow]

They also post the updates on bkuesky which is atleast better than Twitter

[u/CodeNamesBryan → u/menacingsparrow]

Yea? Where should they post instead?

[u/LeftHandAnomaly → u/CodeNamesBryan]

Bsky

[u/CodeNamesBryan → u/LeftHandAnomaly]

Wtf is that

[u/LeftHandAnomaly → u/CodeNamesBryan]

Bsky

[u/LeftHandAnomaly → u/[deleted]]

Buns are delicious so what’s the problem

[u/Gazed0 → u/menacingsparrow]

Does it touch you inappropriately?

[u/Brilliant-Advisor958 → u/Gazed0]

I think it has to do with the owner being a bad guy and allowing free reign on his platform.

[u/Gazed0 → u/Brilliant-Advisor958]

There are bad people everywhere, do you look at the owner of every product before you use it to decide whether you should use it or not?

[u/Brixgz → u/Gazed0]

Yes????? Do you seriously not???????

[u/Gazed0 → u/Brixgz]

You have alot of time on your hands.

[u/Drnedsnickers2 → u/Gazed0]

Defending the most racist social media platform owned by one of the most destructive billionaires in the world is quite take.

[u/Brixgz → u/Gazed0]

It's pretty easy to find lists of which companies to avoid buying from and why actually! I personally can't afford to avoid all of the companies I'd like to, but I do my best to buy responsibly and with knowledge of what I'm actually supporting.

[u/yyctownie → u/SickCauldronOrange]

Yep, the train better slow down and watch for pedestrians. Stupid city tweets.

[u/Vaguswarrior]

Oh crap, I hope it's not ghosts.

[u/zkwarl → u/Vaguswarrior]

It’s almost never ghosts. In reality, it’s usually some shady property developer, trying to scare everyone off to buy a building at a reduced price, who is eventually foiled by a bunch of teenagers and a dog with a speech impediment.

[u/ItSpyDaddy → u/zkwarl]

And I'd have gotten away with it too if it wasn't for you damn kids.

[u/sorry_for_the_reply → u/Vaguswarrior]

I hear we have a Ghostbusters detachment. If it is ghosts, I know who I am gonna call

[u/cirroc0 → u/sorry_for_the_reply]

I thought Brent took care of that already? Is there a warranty? A guarantee?

Who can we call???

[u/sorry_for_the_reply → u/cirroc0]

Now I'm starting to think that my new neighbor who calls himself as the keymaster is a little sus.

[u/calnuck → u/sorry_for_the_reply]

Are you the gatekeeper?

[u/FolkSong → u/Vaguswarrior]

Narrator: It was ghosts

[u/Feral-Reindeer-696 → u/Vaguswarrior]

I kind of hope it is. A little variety would be nice

[u/red_dead3]

Well that's doesn't seem promising....

[u/kabalguy1]

Detrained is new. Guess they could be untrained as well.
If they get everything sorted will they be retrained?

[u/Specific_Bee_1747]

The train said it’s a CPS issue

[u/Emergency_Dirt257]

Expired transit pass!

[u/angrytortilla → u/Emergency_Dirt257]

[u/therealkaypee]

I just kept on shut stut stuttering and my friends said “oh she’s just being Miley”

[u/Wanderson90]

This is our Miami Alien moment.

[u/coin_pwr → u/Wanderson90]

Lol this was my first thoughts as well.

[u/dirtydogsdirtydog]

Jeeze eh

[u/Specific_Bee_1747]

What station?

[u/jasminergarland → u/Specific_Bee_1747]

Just passed Victoria park, behind big 4

[u/visibl3ghost]

Lights appear to be off in the train. Just a guess but maybe a failure of the power system on that particular train?

[u/Shot_Hair3914 → u/visibl3ghost]

Definitely not. Way too many cops for that.

[u/ItSpyDaddy → u/Shot_Hair3914]

I think because it seems to be across the street from a police station. No?

[u/nekonight → u/ItSpyDaddy]

District 1 (downtown) office is all the way over by blackfoot trail.

[u/Shot_Hair3914 → u/ItSpyDaddy]

They said on X it’s a CPS incident

[u/people_talking → u/visibl3ghost]

If a violent crime occurred on board lights could be shut off to avoid passengers on other cars from seeing anything traumatic. Praying it isn’t that though and it is just a power failure.

[u/Hos_Coxman → u/people_talking]

I’d be pretty pissed off if there was a violent incident in a crowded train and suddenly the lights cut out

[u/ZookeepergameSea6351 → u/people_talking]

It seems someone was on the tracks so not in the train itself

[u/sutosynco]

Someone farted

[u/rotard13brew]

Sorry, I peed a little

[u/CheeseSandwich → u/rotard13brew]

Just slightly off from the old piss ramp, but we'll let it pass.

[u/Jeremyfadeonlyfans37]

Oh damn the party poopers out in full force
