Station for the Calgary Light Rail, for eastbound destinations. It is elevated above street level…read morewith ramped access at both ends for those who have trouble with stairs. Somewhat isolated from the weather, I wouldn't want to be standing out there for long in the winter time. There are ticket vending machines at both ends. Note that they do not accept notes or "swipe and sign" credit cards. Bummer, I had to find somewhere to break a C$10 so that I could buy a frickin' ticket.

First off, I like the fact that the train is free when travelling in downtown. It helps for people…read morelike me who lives downtown and don't want to walk that extra block. I usually take the train during lunch time and get off somewhere close and then head for lunch. Just awesome. I also sometime take this train from one end of the free zone to the other end. To do my grocery shopping. Saves a few block of walking which adds up to like 15 mins.

Easy access for mobility challenged. Take a few minutes and visit nearby Century Gardens and listen to the waterfall. Ticket vending machines accept coins and proximity cards only. So if like me you're rolling with a pocketful of paper money, you'll need to wander over to Macs and buy something so I could purchase a ticket. The Calgary Transit system is a "proof of purchase" one, so you must have a paid ticket or validated card with you at all times (except in the free fare zone) to display to a ticket inspector.

If you want a Walk to 7th St. if you'd like to take either a Northwest - Tuscany or West bound train, or the Downtown West/Kirby station if all you need is a Westbound, 69th St. Train. It the first stop on the Free Fare Zone. It's also the place to get off if you want to do some parkour at the retro 8th & 8th park, attempt a meal at the sketchiest McDonalds in the city, or buy a pack of papers from the infamous Crack Mac's. But they've really cleaned this place up. It bright and open and not too many places to hide, making it feel less "stabby" than it ever has.

Another C-Train Station located outside of downtown. This is a red line station. The trains that…read morestops here are either heading toward Tuscany or Sommerset-Bridlewood. It is also known as the 201 line. It is one of the more convenient stations. The station is clean and because there are no indoor enclosed area, there are no homeless people here.

There are a few restaurants within walking distance from this station. If I wanted to visit relatives, I usually pass by this station.

On Saturday May 5th the Calgary Region and History Fair was hosted here and it was the perfect place to host the event. The Mayor was there and gave a nice speech as well as Bryan Malkinson who came on behalf of the Minister of Education David Eggen. They have a nice display to commemorate the 2013 Calgary floods. Nice building!

It is convenient for people who needs to catch a bus. There are two exit here. Heritage Station is 5 mins away from the Heritage Station Development plaza. There you will find lots of restaurants, coffee shops, offices and Save On Foods. If you are heading to the Heritage Park this is also the station where you would get off.

It's a relatively good c-train station. As a student, I do get off at this stop to attend my school…read morebecause it is connected with the special max teal route in south Calgary. The station is an island platform and has only the occasional homeless man asking for money but that's it on safety wise. It is far better than Southland station (a stop south of heritage) because I feel more safe and comfortable when around more students going to school or MRU ( which is connected to the max teal line) In the bus loop area there are a bunch of shelters and also a ton of bus routes going in all directions. It can get pretty busy at the station and on the trains in the morning around 7-9 ish and in the afternoon at around 3-5 ish during the rush hours. It's a really nice station and I do recommend it more than southland

From it's name, it is obvious that this station is located in Marlborough. I took the C-Train from…read moreKerby station, to get to Jollibee (located inside Pacific Plaza). The station is a hit and miss. There were a few incidents that happened here from time to time. I usually try to avoid heading Northeast or here but I will do it for Jollibee. This station does have a few homeless people sleeping here at night time. This is because they have a section that is indoor, covered and heated (where you purchase the one-time use ticket).

This is your stop for The Saddledome, The BMO Centre and of course, The Calgary Stampede! Important: Heading from downtown, it's the first stop outside of the "Free Fare Zone," so if you're gonna get off at Victoria Park/ Stampede you'll need to have a ticket. The transit cops (and even the real police) very often do ticket checks at the stop. Not only is it so close to the free zone, everyone exiting needs to exit through the same stairwell making it very easy for them to stop you and check for a ticket. Make sure you buy a ticket if you're getting off here, and you know... Always. If you're at the station for a concert or game, there' a good chance you'll see "Sax" the busker wailing away. Make sure to flip him a buck or two.

This is also the place you would want to get off at if you're looking for a stroll along the river, and maybe head to Prince's Island Park. It's also the last stop before downtown and the first station out for the "free fare zone" leaving downtown. ON that - This is important, especially if you're visiting during Stampede. You'll notice that Calgary's trains don't have any turnstiles - the trains are free downtown but then we like to rely on the honour system for all the stops outside of downtown, well, that and the transit cops who sometime ride the train, or more commonly, are positioned by the exit doors on stations with only one exit. Sunny Side station, however, opens to the outside world and you can exit the platform wherever. So just sayin', if you ever accidentally misplaced your train ticket, this would be a good, low-heat spot to get off. (That or Lions park and Banff Trail) Be wary though, Sunnysideis a popular spot for the train cops to get on. #TheMoreYouKnow. They've put a fair amount of work into this station in the last year. They've upgraded it to accommodate 4-car trains - I don't know when the city will be switching to this, but it looks like they're preparing! And more immediately important is that they've improved lighting in and around the station, as well as they've gotten rid of all the creepy in-the-bush hiding spots. I definitely feel like it's more safe to be at late at night with the added visibility.
